In the classroom, Tan Muxing was sitting at her desk drawing. Qiu Qingkong came running over excitedly with her schoolbag on her back. She saw the empty seat by the window and asked curiously, "Where's the teacher?"
Tan Muxing replied, "Teacher Liu asked her to come over."
"It's probably just another casual chat." Qiu Qingkong waved goodbye to Tan Muxing and rushed to the girls at the door of the class. "Then let's go back and chat in the group. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye."
Tan Muxing watched Qiu Qingkong meet up with Ruan Ya and others at the door, and the girls left chatting and laughing.
Chu Qianli, Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing had a group chat, and Tan Muxing and Qiu Qingkong also started to talk. The content of their casual chat was basically Chu Qianli, who was the core person maintaining the group chat.
However, Qiu Qingkong still played with Ruan Ya and others when she was in school. She did not distance herself from her old friends just because she met new people. Chu Qianli often acted together with Tan Muxing. This astrologer master and apprentice had their own circle of friends.
Tan Muxing often felt amazed. Less than two weeks after Chu Qianli transferred to the school, she had already smoothly integrated into the class ecology and successfully obtained her own label.
It's just like how characters are positioned in anime. He Shichen is the top student in the class, Ruan Ya is an excellent student who is the class monitor, Qiu Qingkong is a publicity and socializing maniac, and Chu Qianli is a mysterious transfer student who is good at astrology.
Tan Muxing has no label in the class, so his positioning is very vague.
"Big Fatty, you used to sew clothes, but now you just play with girls?" Wang Zheng overheard the conversation between Qiu Qingkong and Tan Muxing, and at this moment he laughed nonchalantly.
Tan Muxing frowned slightly, pretending not to hear what the male classmate said, thinking that there are villains in every environment.
Wang Zheng had poor grades in the class and he often took the lead in teasing Tan Muxing. Whenever anyone spoke to Tan Muxing for a few more words, he would go over and provoke them. As time went by, no one talked to Tan Muxing anymore.
Recently, Tan Muxing always stayed with Chu Qianli, and Wang Zheng couldn't help but say something annoying, but Chu Qianli always had a clear way of thinking and didn't take Wang Zheng seriously at all. He still went home from school with his deskmate, the big white bear.
Wang Zheng noticed that Tan Muxing didn't say a word, so he punched the cotton in an instant and wanted to stand up and find fault in dissatisfaction, but Chu Qianli hurried back in a hurry.
"I'm going, I'm going, luckily the money printing machine is busy today, otherwise I would be scolded to death..." Chu Qianli ran back to her seat. She quickly packed up her schoolbag and looked at Tan Muxing again, "Sorry for waiting! Let's go!"
He Shichen had student union affairs to attend to in the evening, so he did not go back with Chu Qianli.
Tan Muxing slowly put away the pen and said gently, "Okay."
"Qiu Qingkong just came to see you." Tan Muxing didn't even look at Wang Zheng behind him. He picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom with Chu Qianli without looking back the whole time.
"Ah, then I'll send her a message later. I watched the animation you mentioned yesterday, and it was really good." Chu Qianli said excitedly, "Clow cards and Tarot cards have something in common!"
"But that's already very old. I didn't expect you didn't know." Tan Muxing sighed. He didn't know Chu Qianli's past. She seemed to have missed a lot of childhood experiences.
When Wang Zheng saw the two people leave, his face turned gloomy.
The next day, the trio gathered in class again. Qiu Qingkong held up her mobile phone screen to show the two of them. She said excitedly, "Teacher, I want to learn Tarot, and I've been wanting to make this kind of video recently!"
Tan Muxing looked at the cards on his phone and asked, "Is this the lottery video?"
"Oh, so it's the public who's taking advantage of it." Chu Qianli watched a tarot video on a certain website and said hesitantly, "It's possible, but you can't even roll the dice well?"
Qiu Qingkong is now an astrology apprentice. She has trouble interpreting astrology dice, and now she wants to learn Tarot.
"But you are very smart." Qiu Qingkong looked guilty. She avoided the topic and said, "I am not allowed to recruit customers on campus recently. I feel that my life is meaningless. I must develop business outside the school..."
Tan Muxing pointed out: "I always feel that you seem to be more passionate about promoting astrology than learning astrology."
After Chu Qianli's fortune-telling business became popular, Qiu Qingkong actively maintained his customer base every day and seemed to no longer read books and study astrology on his own.
Chu Qianli smiled and added: "Her Mercury energy is strong, Mercury corresponds to Gemini, Gemini is crazy about spreading information, always learning superficial knowledge, and is indecisive and fickle, so she often learns a little bit of everything, and then throws it away to learn something else..."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong..." Qiu Qingkong lowered his head in embarrassment under the scanning, and muttered softly, "I will dare to do it again next time."
Chu Qianli: "Okay, but the public cannot communicate with each other when sharing divination. It is not suitable for beginners of Tarot. You can't make your own video yet. You can't start running before you learn to walk."
The divination requires communication between the divination master and the person asking the divination. The last time Chu Qianli refused Qi Yan's message to divination, she was afraid that the divination without communication would lead to mistakes.
If the person asking the question is unwilling to speak frankly, the fortune teller will lose a lot of important information and find it difficult to give an accurate answer.
Qiu Qingkong wanted to get started with Tarot. She should first do face-to-face fortune-telling, and then advance to group fortune-telling.
Qiu Qingkong said excitedly: "It's like this, I've already thought about it. I'll record a video of the public eating rotten meat for the teacher first, and then we'll open this account. Then I'll run it and learn at the same time, and accept private eating rotten meat business on the Internet. I'll run the account as an apprentice, but I can send a private message to the teacher to pay for eating rotten meat..."
Chu Qianli was confused: "Why do I feel like you already have a plan?"
This routine sounds familiar, just like when Qiu Qingkong first started fishing, she was the one who attracted customers first, and then developed those who were convinced into becoming Chu Qianli's customers.
Tan Muxing: "She never planned to learn to walk. She wanted you to run from the beginning."
Qiu Qingkong: "Isn't this the agency's routine? I asked about my personal development plan first, but the company already had the idea of packaging a persona!"
“…”
"Isn't this how the patriarchal entertainment industry is messed up? I think the tarot teachers at a certain website are not as good as teachers. If I think about it this way, I am rectifying the industry's atmosphere and am more righteous than patriarchal entertainment companies!"
“…”
Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were surprised by the daughter of a media company owner.
Chu Qianli often found that she couldn't keep up with the pace of the city people. She was dazed at this time and gave in: "Then record one episode. The problem is what do you want to take? And I don't want to appear on camera..."
Qiu Qingkong said generously, "No problem, no problem. I'll plan the theme. Teacher, you can show your hands if you want. I've seen many fortune tellers not show their faces!"
"We also need to think of a name for the account, and it would be best if we could create a unique logo." Qiu Qingkong fell into deep thought. She was now passionate about operating the account and couldn't wait to promote it.
Tan Muxing: "I'll send you the picture on the business card."
Chu Qianli has a price list, written by Qiu Qingkong and typeset by Tan Muxing. There are some simple drawings on the business card, which can be considered a logo if rounded off.
"Then I'll ask someone about the video recording!" Qiu Qingkong rushed out of the class. She had a wide network of contacts in her grade and could always find someone to help her with anything.
Tan Muxing said, "I always feel that she is only at the entry level and can't chew too much."
Tan Muxing had a hunch that if the Tarot account was successful, Qiu Qingkong would suggest learning other things, predicting that Chu Qianli would be able to do everything.
"Well, she just likes to chew. She didn't say she wanted to chew it until it was rotten." Chu Qianli waved her hand to comfort her. "Besides, astrology and tarot have something in common. There's nothing wrong with learning them together."
"What commonality?"
"There is astrological knowledge behind the images on the tarot cards. For example, the devil corresponds to Saturn and also represents Capricorn in astrology..." Chu Qianli added, "In addition to the obvious connections, there are also some deeper similarities, such as the common experiences of human beings."
Chu Qianli picked up the tarot cards on the table and laid out the 22 major arcana cards in order. The cards were from the Fool to the World. She explained, "If you look at them this way, you can connect them into the story of your life journey and form a coherent life cycle."
Tan Muxing looked at the cards lined up in a row and asked in surprise, "Is this a cycle?"
"Yes, it should be more appropriate if I put it this way." Chu Qianli rearranged the tarot cards. She put the Fool card No. 0 and the World card No. 21 together to form a closed circle.
The Fool represents the beginning, innocence, and wandering; the World represents completion, travel, and achievement, and then returns to the Fool, representing the endless cycle of all things in the world.
"The twelve zodiac signs are also stories of growth, starting with Aries and ending with the spirituality of Pisces. We all change after our experiences, so the order and process are also important." Chu Qianli smiled, "Other numerology also has similar aspects, and they all rely on the common experience of mankind to develop."
Tan Muxing seemed to understand: "Ah, so that's how it is..."
"Big Fatty, do you understand?"
A sudden sound was heard.
Wang Zheng passed by the table where the two were sitting. He heard the conversation and said mockingly, "Why do you like being her lapdog so much?"
Ever since Chu Qianli joined the class, the two have been inseparable, breaking Tan Muxing's lonely situation.
Wang Zheng has already summed up the rules of how the two sides get along with each other. Tan Muxing has been holding the transfer student in his arms, probably because he doesn't want to be left alone again.
Chu Qianli looked up in surprise.
Tan Muxing looked at Wang Zheng beside him and fell silent for a moment. He always ignored the sarcasm from Wang Zheng and others, but he didn't expect the other party to dance in front of the table, forcing him to respond.
Tan Muxing smiled bitterly and said, "You are wrong."
Wang Zheng: “What?”
Tan Muxing said self-deprecatingly: "I'm not as lovable as a dog."
Wang Zheng: “???”
Tan Muxing is like a big dough, no matter how people hit him, he doesn't respond, which sometimes makes outsiders even angrier. Others may get angry under the humiliation, but he is like a deep pool of water, and what's worse is that no one can make a splash.
Chu Qianli was silent for a few seconds, then she looked at Wang Zheng and asked abruptly, "Are you secretly in love with my deskmate?"
Tan Muxing turned around and looked at her in surprise: "?"
Wang Zheng was also shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about!?"
Chu Qianli: "Then why do you keep talking to him? Why do you interrupt me when I'm chatting with him?"
On the first day of school, Chu Qianli found that Wang Zheng was always talking about Mu Xing and making fun of her. She treated his words as farts, but Wang Zheng farted too much and it did affect the air.
"Look at him, who could possibly have a crush on him? Could it be that you have a crush on him?" Wang Zheng knew very well that girls hated gossip the most. They would feel uncomfortable if they were associated with fat boys.
However, Chu Qianli never plays by the rules and said frankly: "No, I never have a secret crush, and I also have an open crush if I do."
She even asked directly when she was short of money, how could she possibly have a secret crush on someone?
Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard this.
Wang Zheng was very angry. He found Chu Qianli very shameless and there was no way to get rid of her.
Chu Qianli looked straight at Wang Zheng and sighed, "You are so pitiful."
"What?"
"You think my deskmate is weak and easy to bully, but in fact he just doesn't want to pay attention to you. You have nothing to show for yourself, so you can only use class conversations and tease classmates to make your presence felt. Otherwise, you will feel a huge gap and think that you are nothing in the class..."
Chu Qianli rolled the dice calmly: "You think you have successfully taken the lead in isolating my deskmate, but in the eyes of others you are just a little ugly. No one likes to fight with a mad dog."
Schools are full of various competitions, whether it is comparing clothes and family background, or comparing grades or awards.
Wang Zheng wants to build up his sense of victory by bullying Tan Muxing, but He Shichen, Ruan Ya and others will not take him seriously. They just don't want to talk to someone with a sick brain.
Chu Qianli initially thought that Tan Muxing was timid because Wang Zheng made fun of him, but she recently discovered that her deskmate, Big White Bear, was very thoughtful and his inferiority complex did not come from Wang Zheng and others.
Chu Qianli's words hit the nail on the head.
Wang Zheng was instantly furious. He rushed forward and shouted angrily, "Stop talking bullshit!"
Chu Qianli sat by the window and Wang Zheng stood in the aisle, the two of them talking about Muxing across from each other.
Wang Zheng was a boy after all. He looked tall and strong, and he rushed towards Chu Qianli with great momentum. The scene was really scary.
However, before he could reach the window, he felt a terrible force that threw him directly onto the empty seat behind him, and both he and the chair flew out.
The tables and chairs made a sharp sound on the floor, which immediately startled the other students in the class.
Ruan Ya, the monitor in the front row, turned around, stood up to maintain order, and shouted, "What are you doing!?"
The chair had fallen over, and Wang Zheng's legs were hung on the seat in a panic. Fortunately, his body landed on his buttocks and he did not suffer any serious injuries.
He looked at the person in front of him with fear and trepidation, his shoulders still remembering the great force just now, as if he was meeting the other person for the first time.
Tan Muxing stood in front of Chu Qianli. He pursed his lips and said softly, "I don't like violence."
Tan Muxing has always been the soft-hearted good guy in the class, and is often teased by the boys for being effeminate, but he has never completely turned against them and never physically fights with anyone.
This is also the reason why the head teacher arranged Chu Qianli to sit next to Tan Muxing.
If we talk about Twilight Star, it will never cause any harm, and there will be no contradiction.
However, a white bear is still a white bear, no matter how soft it looks, it is actually a very fast and powerful creature. This is just like the panda, which gives people the impression of being a cute national treasure, but its actual fighting power is very amazing, and it is also known as the iron-eating beast.
Chu Qianli looked at the scene in panic. She was a little panicked when she saw Wang Zheng rushing up, mainly because she felt she was a weakling in combat and she didn't expect that her desk mate was actually such a hidden talent.
Tan Muxing turned around and saw that she was in a daze. He suddenly felt nervous and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, did I scare you..."
Tan Muxing is definitely a peace ambassador. He does not advocate any rude behavior, for fear that his deskmate will have opinions about him.
The class was in a mess, so he was naturally worried that she would dislike him.
The next second, Chu Qianli stood behind Tan Muxing with his hands on his hips and started to stir up trouble at Wang Zheng on the ground, childishly retorting: "Stop talking nonsense! Stop talking nonsense!"
Now that she had someone to back her up, she felt justified and didn't believe that Wang Zheng would dare to stand up and fight back, so she naturally became more presumptuous.
If she can’t beat the other person, doesn’t she still have her deskmate?
Tan Muxing: “…” It turns out that he is the only peace advocate in the world.
