Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Star



The classmates in the class left one after another, and only a few people stayed in the corner.

Chu Qianli sat stiffly at the table, unable to hide his surprise.

After Chu Qianli heard what Qi Yan said, she regained the feeling of learning astrology for the first time. She could understand every word, but she didn't understand it at all when she put it together. She asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Qi Yan rested her hands on the table, leaned forward, and said calmly, "Boys don't have anything more than girls. I just suggest that you don't get too hung up on gender."

Chu Qianli: “…”

Chu Qianli started to panic. She looked at her desk mate for help, her pupils trembling.

Tan Muxing's face was now numb as well. He just mouthed silently - run away.

"What do you think?" Qi Yan retracted her arms. She wanted to go around the desk and walk in front of Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli was so scared that she huddled behind Tan Muxing. She used her big white bear-like deskmate as a shield and begged for mercy in panic, "I won't pretend anymore. I'm laying it bare. Boys really don't have anything more than girls, but I just want to suck their bodies..."

"You are really outstanding, both inside and out, but no! Really not!" Chu Qianli said decisively. She shook her head like a wave drum and hid nervously behind Tan Muxing.

Qi Yan noticed that Chu Qianli was shocked. She did not rush forward. Instead, she said slowly, "It's not your fault. I am the same as you. I just wanted to please them for their bodies and didn't think they were that good."

Tan Muxing was quite embarrassed at this moment, and said weakly and helplessly: "...Can you please not discuss this in front of me?"

This seemed to be a private topic between girls, and he just wanted to disappear right then and there.

Chu Qianli was still using her deskmate as a shield. She suddenly caught the key words and asked hurriedly, "Since you are almost the same as me, why do you say that?"

She remembered that Qi Yan was the heroine of a romantic novel, and obviously not the heroine of a yuri novel!

Qi Yan confessed: "Because your astrological ability is very strong, I am willing to take the initiative to make concessions."

Chu Qianli: “…”

Chu Qianli relaxed instantly. She walked out from behind Tan Muxing and said helplessly, "Friend, just do astrology, don't say scary things."

Qi Yan is the heroine of the original novel. She has the typical characteristics of a strong female character. She is very skillful in networking and will not stop until she achieves her goal. She is so strong that she can make many male characters become background characters. This is not a character trapped by love. In her heart, there is only a vast career.

Chu Qianli immediately understood that Qi Yan didn't like her, but rather admired her abilities.

Chu Qianli opened her schoolbag, took out the digestive tools, and planned to work overtime. She asked, "What do you want to digest?"

Qi Yan smiled and said, "Baby, I don't want to take advantage of a problem, but I hope you can always help me take advantage of it."

Chu Qianli: “…”

"What do you want? Money, power or status. Although I don't have complete control over the family, I can promise to give you half of everything I have." Qi Yan thought, "Of course, if you want a good-looking boy, that's fine too. As long as it's what you want, I will do my best to give it to you."

Chu Qianli: “…………”

He Shichen couldn't stand the increasingly outrageous conversation and interrupted, "Qi Yan, that's enough. Don't make dangerous remarks that could abduct minors!"

Qi Yan turned around and saw He Shichen. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, "Aren't we all minors? What's dangerous about this?"

He Shichen frowned and said, "She has important things to do right now, and her parents provide her with living expenses. She doesn't need what you are talking about at all."

"I didn't know you had such a strong sense of justice." Qi Yan looked surprised. She looked at He Shichen, then at Chu Qianli, and suddenly realized, "...wait, are you the original child?"

Qi Yan and He Shichen have always been rivals and have been competing in grade for a long time.

He Shichen is not the type to meddle in other people's business. Under normal circumstances, he would have turned around and left. His violent reaction at this moment might have something else to do with Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli nodded and said, "Yes."

He Shichen strode over and faced Qi Yan head-on, his voice indifferent: "The He family will not let her lack food and clothing. Even if she is not very smart, she will probably have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

Chu Qianli felt very aggrieved: "Am I not very smart?"

Tan Muxing soothed him gently, "Okay, no."

Qi Yan looked at He Shichen, who had an expressionless face. She sized him up and down, then mocked him, "You don't understand her value at all, and you don't understand the meaning of her existence at all. She won't stay in her small home and school. Sooner or later, she will go further and further, reaching a limit that you can't even imagine."

"The Tao that can be told is not the real Tao. Human beings have very limited knowledge of the world. No matter how powerful a person is, there are variables that cannot be controlled. Therefore, countless people want to peek into the secrets of heaven." Qi Yan said slowly, "This is also the reason why the schools of fortune-telling were born. The most famous one is Qianshan in the north of the Yangtze River in China, while there are many schools in the south of the Yangtze River."

Tan Muxing was startled when he heard this.

"I have visited many masters for personal reasons. She has such a high accuracy rate at this age. She is definitely a genius, not an ordinary person like you." Qi Yan glanced at He Shichen coldly.

"Ah, not that great." Chu Qianli said hypocritically, urging him, "Praise a little more, praise a little more..."

He Shichen looked at Chu Qianli who was so overwhelmed by the flattery that he turned around: "..." You told me that this thing is a genius! ?

He Shichen seriously suspected that he was the only normal person in the room.

In his opinion, Chu Qianli has some special abilities, but she is neither smart nor a genius, and sometimes she is almost naive and stupid. She should not have bad intentions, otherwise she would have ruined herself with those little tricks, but she is definitely not as high as Qi Yan praises her, and is essentially an ordinary person with minor flaws.

He Shichen has been observing Chu Qianli this week, and he now has a new judgment compared to his initial acquaintance.

Although He Shichen is reluctant to admit it, Chu Qianli does not have any dark side. She looks silly and unfocused, but she is not actually a scheming character.

He Shichen looked impatient: "I don't want to listen to this nonsense. She is still a student at school. She should focus on her studies instead of being flattered by people like you."

"What do you mean by flattering someone without knowing how high the sky is and how deep the earth is? You don't think she can only do boring fortune-telling, do you?" Qi Yan sneered, "You mistakenly think she can only count on emotions or trivial matters. You should know that in ancient times, astrology was used to make decisions on state affairs."

Qi Yan and Chu Qianli are on good terms because they are seeking a distant blueprint for the future, not just the small piece of land in front of them.

Chu Qianli was just flattered by Qi Yan's praise, but she calmed down after hearing this and said seriously: "It's not a boring snack."

Qi Yan was stunned.

Chu Qianli corrected: "In your eyes, their questions are all trivial matters, but to them they are very important questions, and they are eager and anxious to know the answers."

Qi Yan may think that occupying feelings and game competitions are boring, but for some people who asked the question, that is what bothers them the most.

Some people will always have a dull life and will only have dull problems. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

After Chu Qianli said this, the air became quiet.

Qi Yan saw Chu Qianli's serious expression. She hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled and responded gently, "Yeah, you are right."

Tan Muxing was shocked when he saw this. He felt that the top student in the grade was very flexible and his desire to improve his favorability and win over his new deskmate was evident in his words.

He Shichen was equally speechless when faced with his competitor's lackey, and said in a breakdown: "Qi Yan, can you be more normal!?"

Qi Yan held her chin, she turned a deaf ear to He Shichen's words, turned her head to look at Chu Qianli, and chuckled: "Although He Shichen is quite capable, he may be a little worse than me. I think you can reconsider it. I'm afraid his future development will not be as good as mine."

Chu Qianli looked panicked: "This is the confidence of a strong female writer, I love it..."

When He Shichen heard Qi Yan's arrogant words, his blood pressure instantly rose and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows without giving in: "Is there anything wrong with what I said? People whose total scores are two points lower than mine don't need to speak."

He Shichen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you mention the time when I scored higher than you?"

Qi Yan: "I only focus on the present and never get stuck in the past."

He Shichen: "Then use the average ranking instead of just two points!"

He Shichen and Qi Yan inexplicably started arguing over their grades and began to ridicule each other's grade rankings, falling into a life-and-death situation.

Chu Qianli seized the opportunity, and she quickly sneaked away with Tan Muxing, whispering: "Brother, then you two can stop talking first, we will go first, I will wait for you in the car..."

Outside the teaching building, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing escaped successfully. She couldn't help but sigh, "Too much, too much. How can my brother get so involved with anyone?"

As expected, He Shichen was born into an Internet-addicted family. He had a strong sense of competition even before he started working, and now uses his test scores as his KPI.

Tan Muxing muttered quietly: "Qi Yan is more scary, he has a very strong Chuunibyou vibe."

Chu Qianli sighed: "He is indeed a lucky person, he is different as soon as he appears on the stage."

Tan Muxing asked blankly: "A person with great luck?"

Chu Qianli: "Yes, some astrologers believe that birth charts are divided into good and bad. They say that people with good birth charts are successful people and people with good luck in the secular sense, similar to the kings and generals in ancient times. In any case, they will always achieve success and fame..."

Qi Yan is the heroine of the original book. You can tell that she is extraordinary without having to look at the horoscope.

"Of course, putting aside the debate about whether horoscopes are good or bad, this kind of argument does have some value." Chu Qianli added, "Everyone will make different choices when faced with things, and some people's personalities are indeed more likely to achieve success in their careers."

The people around Chu Qianli also have different reactions to her astrological ability. Tan Muxing is tolerant, He Shichen is questioning, Qiu Qingkong is learning, Qi Yan is resisting... Because of their different personalities, this leads to different events.

Tan Muxing looked curious: "Then what she said is true? She can really give you a lot of things?"

Chu Qianli judged that Qi Yan was a lucky man, so he must be doing very well, and it was not a lie that he offered money, power and status.

Chu Qianli was silent for a few seconds, she lowered her eyelashes and said honestly: "Although everyone likes money and power, even I can't be an exception, but this is not the most important thing to me. At least right now there are more important things."

Chu Qianli said that she was not greedy for money and power, but it was a lie. Who could refuse such good living conditions?

But she had more pressing tasks and was waiting for the real opportunity.

She had been obsessed with the same question since childhood. Before she got a definite answer, there was no point in pursuing anything else.

In the dusk playground, the golden and red glow of the setting sun fell on Chu Qianli, covering her with a thick shadow.

The sky was like a fire, golden light broke through the clouds, and starlight was about to appear after the ever-changing red sunset.

Tan Muxing's eyes were suddenly stung by the afterglow of the setting sun. He noticed Chu Qianli's silence and vaguely grasped something. Finally, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Aren't you the best in the world? Is there anything you can't do?"

He didn't know what she was thinking.

But he felt a certain annoyance and could only gently change the subject.

Chu Qianli usually likes to hear compliments, and Tan Muxing wanted to take this opportunity to dispel her depression, but this time it unexpectedly didn't work.

"Yes, even if I am more powerful than all the astrologers in the world, there are still beings who are higher than me."

"What is it?"

"It's fate."
