Chu Qianli's ginseng business is booming.

The lunch break was about to end and the three of them began to pack up the stall.

Tan Muxing took down the simple curtain and put it on the table, and began to count the feedback for today. The dark purple curtain was made of the tablecloth given by Tarot, and now it has restored its original function. Chu Qianli and Qiu Qingkong arranged various fortune-telling props on the tablecloth.

Qiu Qingkong said proudly: "More and more people have come in the past two days. I guess people from other grades will come soon!"

Chu Qianli was deeply impressed: "You are really suitable for publicity."

Chu Qianli used to be a fortune teller in the village. In the beginning, he had to rely on his grandfather's reputation and was often questioned for being too young and incapable.

Qiu Qingkong pioneered a new route. She first promoted Chu Qianli as a hidden master, and then used high prices to attract some skeptical customers. She completed a round of customer screening in the early stage and reduced a lot of trouble.

After Qiu Qingkong discussed astrology with Chu Qianli, she excitedly ran back to her seat to prepare for the afternoon class.

Tan Muxing watched Qiu Qingkong leave. He had remained calm the entire time, but now he worriedly said, "But more and more people are coming, and you might get into trouble."

Chu Qianli looked curious: "What's the trouble?"

Tan Muxing: "We are doing this at school. If it is just within the grade, it's fine. But if the whole school knows about it, maybe the teacher will talk to you."

Tan Muxing and Qiu Qingkong were just helping after all, and if the teachers really wanted to settle accounts, they would definitely look for Chu Qianli. He felt that the risk was a bit high and it would have a bad impact on his new deskmate.

"You are right. Let's discuss this with Qiu Qingkong later." Chu Qianli thought for a while and agreed, "There are indeed too many people coming at noon."

Chu Qianli underestimated Qiu Qingkong's ability to attract customers, as she didn't have that much business in the village.

In the next class, Qi Yan sat at her desk. After listening to the results of the lottery, she asked with interest, "So the transfer student is really capable?"

The star-chasing girl nodded: "Yes, and I think she is very generous, with that kind of immortal feeling..."

Chu Qianli was always serious when he was taking bribes, unlike his usual cheerful and unruly self. Adding to that Qiu Qingkong's deliberate hype and marketing, it was natural that misunderstandings about his character arose.

People from other classes had no idea that Chu Qianli was known for sleeping in class and copying homework frantically, let alone the outrageous remarks she made during her self-introduction.

Distance creates beauty and filters people. In Qi Yan's heart, Chu Qianli is just like the rare young genius on Qianshan Mountain. Since the other party has entered the world, Qi Yan must not miss him.

Qi Yan said in a gentle voice: "This is a great help to me. Learning the Book of Changes is really difficult. It's faster to just find someone to help me."

She looked at the star-chasing girl and said, "Can you do me one more favor? I'll pay for it."

During the break, Chu Qianli looked at the familiar face. She really felt that the behavior of the city people was incredible and asked in surprise: "Are you really too rich?"

The star-chasing girl had just come during lunch break, and now she was here again, less than a few hours later.

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not." The other party said helplessly, "The main thing is that I have a friend..."

"Mainly, you like to tell me stories?" Chu Qianli looked strange. "Is it the 'I Have a Friend' series this time?"

Chu Qianli stared at her dimly: "Don't bring out photos of celebrities again. I won't be fooled a second time."

The people in the city are very cunning. Now that she has grown up, she will not fall for their tricks so easily.

Facing Chu Qianli's numb gaze, the girl waved her hands in panic and said with a dry laugh: "This time it's true, I really have a friend, and I want to help her solve the problem..."

Chu Qianli shook her head: "No."

"ah?"

Chu Qianli raised his eyes and said, "This form of fortune-telling is of low value, or many fortune-tellers would dislike it."

"Your friend is a very smart person, and probably doesn't want to reveal his identity. But if the person asking the question doesn't trust me, then there's no need for me to answer the question for him." Chu Qianli sighed, "To be honest, if you go out like this, you'll be beaten up by the fortune teller."

This is basically a stall-breaking move. First, it is a false question, and then it is a message-taking, which are behaviors that many astrologers hate.

The star-chasing girl was stunned: "But I see that you have a good temper and you don't even want to hit anyone?"

Chu Qianli answered calmly and didn't get angry at all.

Chu Qianli's eyes were moist, and she murmured aggrievedly: "It's not that I'm not strong enough, I'm just afraid that I can't beat you."

“…”

"Do you think I don't want to? I don't have the strength!"

“…………”

The star-chasing girl lowered her head awkwardly and coughed twice: "...I'll tell her."

Chu Qianli heard this and decisively pulled the curtains, smiling like a crescent moon as she saw the guest off: "Okay, then you're welcome to come back next time. This time's payment will not be refunded."

The star-chasing girl ran back to class to pass on the message.

After Qi Yan finished listening, she thought for a moment and said, "Since the master invited me to go in person, I should be polite. I'm sorry to bother you this time. I was inconsiderate."

"But how did she invite you over?" The girl blinked blankly and said, "Qi Yan, have you read too much Zhouyi? Your speech lately sounds like someone from a costume drama."

The star-chasing girl recalled what Chu Qianli had said. Could it be that Qi Yan understood "Welcome to visit next time" as "an invitation to come in person"?

Is this the language ability of a top student?

The fact that he could dig out non-existent meaning from a short sentence must probably be due to his profound skills in reading and comprehension questions over the years.

On the other side, He Shichen stood outside the office door. He knocked politely and after the head teacher responded, he slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

He Shichen closed the door casually and asked, "Teacher, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The desk was piled with all kinds of exercise books, with a computer screen next to it, but the chairs were empty.

The other teachers were not in the room. Only the head teacher was sitting there. When he saw He Shichen, he quickly stood up and began to rub his hands nervously. He greeted him, "You're here. If you have nothing else, take a seat first..."

He Shichen's heart skipped a beat when he saw his head teacher's awkward look, and he instantly had a bad feeling.

Because he is the best student in his grade, he is often praised by teachers, but he now keenly feels that the atmosphere is wrong and it is different from the usual state.

He Shichen was full of doubts, but he still sat down and waited for the head teacher to talk about business.

The head teacher pulled over a chair and sat next to He Shichen, saying earnestly, "Shichen, have you heard any rumors recently, such as the little games Chu Qianli played with other classmates..."

He Shichen's face darkened when he heard this: "..."

The head teacher noticed the other person's gloomy face and hurriedly tried to save the situation: "I'm not saying that this behavior is bad. It's just that we won't prohibit students from pursuing their hobbies. But school is still a place for learning. Some small activities should be restrained, at least not too flashy..."

He Shichen held his forehead with a headache. He tried to calm himself down and said, "...Teacher, why don't you talk to Chu Qianli, but come to me instead?"

He Shichen was numb.

He had never been called in for a talk by the teacher before, and today was the first time. Now he felt a hopeless situation as if he couldn't escape even if he had wings!

He Shichen saw Chu Qianli's actions over the past week, but he pretended not to know. No matter how many people came to take the food, he just pretended not to see it. He also heard the rumors in his grade, but what did it have to do with him?

But why is it that she is the one being talked to when he is the one spreading superstition?! ?

The head teacher said earnestly: "Shi Chen, you also know her situation. She has just come to the new school and her previous living environment is different from that of most of her classmates. I specially arranged for her to sit with Tan Muxing because I took into consideration that Tan Muxing at least does not have the bad habits of some people in the class..."

Students in private high schools are either rich or noble, and Chu Qianli might feel a great gap. There is no offensiveness in talking about Muxing, and at least there will be no conflict between the two sides.

"She has only been here for a week. I talked to her and she may not be able to handle it because of her pride. So I think you should go back and talk to your parents. They should persuade her to focus on her studies and stop eating radishes as a hobby."

The head teacher thought that He Shichen had always been excellent and sensible, and his stability and maturity far exceeded that of his peers, which was why he was chosen instead of Chu Qianli.

He Shichen said calmly: "You think too much, she doesn't have such a thing as self-esteem."

They simply cannot discuss things that do not exist in the world.

The head teacher was looking down at his phone. He looked up and said, "Ah, what did you just say? Sorry for replying to the principal's WeChat message."

He Shichen immediately changed his words: "Nothing."

"Okay, then you can go back and talk to her this weekend." The head teacher stood up to see them off. Before leaving, he suddenly said, "By the way, is this thing accurate? I'm planning to move recently. Wouldn't it be better to pick a day..."

He Shichen turned around and stared at the head teacher with an expressionless face.

The head teacher read a murderous aura from He Shichen's gloomy expression, as if if he said one more word, the other party would explode in front of him on the spot!

The head teacher waved his hands hurriedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can go back to class."

He Shichen left in depression. He found that leaving Chu Qianli alone was not an option. Some problems could not be avoided but only solved.

In the classroom, Chu Qianli was sitting by the window. She suddenly sneezed loudly and instantly bent over and shrank into the shape of a shrimp.

Tan Muxing grabbed a tissue and handed it to her, saying, "Are you cold? Close the window."

Chu Qianli took the tissue and wiped it, then said in a muffled voice: "No need, maybe someone missed me."

After school, everyone started to organize their teaching materials and prepare for a happy weekend.

He Shichen glanced at Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing who were chatting and laughing in the corner. He planned to go home and seriously discuss with someone the issue of spreading superstition in school, at least to avoid letting the teacher find out about it.

At the classroom door, Qiu Qingkong was about to leave when she saw someone coming in front of her. She turned around in surprise and said, "Hey? Qi Yan?"

"Hello, where is the Master sitting?"

"Teacher?" Qiu Qingkong pointed, "Over there."

Chu Qianli was tidying up her desk. When she looked up, she saw a strange girl sitting at the desk, who was delicate and charming, with bright eyes. She couldn't help but look puzzled and confused. The long-haired girl had an outstanding temperament, with a delicate head, beautiful eyebrows, and beautiful eyes.

Qi Yan smiled and said, "I am here because of your invitation."

Chu Qianli: “?”

Chu Qianli faced a strange female classmate and didn't know when she had made an appointment with her.

He Shichen watched Qi Yan enter the class, he was also confused, not understanding how things were going.

Tan Muxing looked at Chu Qianli, who came to his rescue at the right time and asked curiously, "When did you invite Qi Yan?"

He Shichen and Qi Yan are well-known figures in their grade. They are mentioned in various awards at school and even posted on bulletin boards, so they are naturally not unfamiliar to others.

Chu Qianli was stunned. Qi Yan was the heroine of the original book, but she had never dated her!

Chu Qianli looked stunned and said distressedly: "...Is this an invitation from a dream?"

"Not as serious as I thought." Qi Yan didn't expect the other party to speak so directly. She chuckled and asked, "What type of girls do you like?"

Chu Qianli was at a loss and said, "I, I like all types of girls."

What kind of weird questions are these? She is a little confused now?

Qi Yan frowned slightly, and she said thoughtfully: "If someone else said this, it would seem a bit frivolous, but if you say it, it's still acceptable..."

Qi Yan wanted to tie Chu Qianli to himself, but considering the other party's magical power, he had to ignore some flaws. If the master had no human weaknesses at all, he would not be able to completely pull him over.

Chu Qianli: “???” What does this mean?

Tan Muxing listened for a long time, and suddenly he realized the subtle atmosphere and spoke carefully: "Sorry to interrupt, but you may have misunderstood, she is actually a girl."

Chu Qianli only has short hair and wears a boys' school uniform, but her voice and facial features are not difficult to identify.

Qi Yan didn't know where he was being careless and suddenly started flirting with his deskmate.

Qi Yan was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Chu Qianli, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

Chu Qianli looked back at Qi Yan, also with a dazed look on her face.

After a moment, Qi Yan took out a glasses case from her bag, put on her glasses, and looked at each other carefully again, realizing that what Tan Muxing said was correct.

Because her impression of Chu Qianli was that of a "genius boy who was proficient in divining", she did not find out his gender in advance. The main reason was that they were in different classes and it was difficult for them to understand each other.

Qi Yan pushed his glasses and said gently, "I'm sorry, I didn't wear glasses when I came here because I wanted to leave a good first impression on you. And I didn't happen to be ready to put on my invisible mask today."

After Qi Yan put on framed glasses, she had a more scholarly air and her appearance was no longer so eye-catching as to seem aggressive.

Chu Qianli said in a daze: "It's okay..."

She had felt something was wrong from the beginning, and always thought that the two of them could not get along. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Qi Yan smiled and said, "But I think in this era, gender doesn't seem to be very important?"

Chu Qianli, Tan Muxing: “?”

He Shichen: “!!?”

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were both stunned.

He Shichen, however, collapsed directly. Looking at the absurd scene, he suddenly wished that the world would be destroyed.
