Chapter 19 The Nineteenth Star



Chu Qianli waited for Tan Muxing to finish calling home, and then the two of them went back to class together to prepare for the afternoon class.

He Shichen came over to ask, he was not sure whether Chu Qianli had been called as the parent, so instead of waiting for the head teacher to come find him, he might as well take the initiative and go over now.

He Shichen has figured out a pattern: as long as Chu Qianli is slightly out of sight, the head teacher will quickly notify him to have a chat.

Tan Muxing responded with a good temper: "This time they called my parents. The teacher didn't let her call home."

Chu Qianli held his head with his hands and said, "Oh, there's no need to bother telling Mom and Dad. If there's anything, can't you take care of it?"

Chu Qianli appears to be well-behaved and cute at home. He Zhenghe and Yu Xin are unaware of her little actions, let alone the troubles she has caused at school.

"..." He Shichen resisted the urge to hit her and said numbly, "I'm going to participate in the competition next week. Will you cause any trouble?"

He Shichen is very busy next week and he has no time to meet with the head teacher.

Chu Qianli said lazily, "Who can predict the future? How about I tell you a fortune?"

He Shichen: “…”

He Shichen decisively decided to stay for some time, in case he really had to rush for disaster relief, at least he had an emergency plan. He now had a hunch that if he continued to live like this, he would be like his second uncle, unmarried and childless, and dealing with naughty children would be really annoying.

Qiu Qingkong also hurried over to inquire. She had only gone out to ask for advice on filming, and when she came back she found that her two companions had been detained. Naturally, she felt very confused.

She originally thought that the three people were being robbed while occupying a stall, but it turned out that they were harassed by hooligans while opening a stall, and there was an unpleasant collision.

Qiu Qingkong: "It's good that nothing happened. The teacher has eyes. We didn't deliberately cause trouble!"

Tan Muxing has never lost his temper in class, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is causing trouble.

Chu Qianli smiled and patted Tan Muxing: "He just said that he would provide the costumes for the photo shoot, and then he went home to make the gloves."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Tan Muxing quickly denied the third time and said stiffly, "I really can't make clothes for others..."

Chu Qianli: "Oh, you can learn if you don't know how to do it. Everyone doesn't know how to do it at the beginning, but as long as you set a deadline, you will suddenly find that you know everything. The less time you have, the more you know. It's like magic!"

Tan Muxing: "..."

Tan Muxing finally had no choice but to use his mobile phone to place an order for professional books. He was now like an intern who had just started working. No one taught him anything, but he was assigned a lot of work. He could only complete the tasks by self-study.

"That's great. Let's do it properly. I've thought of several proposals. You can choose the theme..." Qiu Qingkong looked down at his phone. "I'll post it in the group!"

Chu Qianli browsed the group chat information. Qiu Qingkong actually had quite a few plans, such as "What are the characteristics of the next true love", "When can I get rich overnight, and what are the channels for getting rich overnight", etc. It seemed that a lot of the content was referenced from videos on certain websites.

Chu Qianli thought about it for a while, then she pointed at one of the items and said, "This one."

"Is there anything good happening next month?" Qiu Qingkong came forward to check and asked curiously, "Why did you choose this? When I wrote it, I was afraid that it would be dull."

Chu Qianli: "This has a time limit, the accuracy can be higher, and it can also be combined with the astronomical disk."

It is impossible to describe the majority of people one-to-one, so the accuracy will be affected. If you want to describe a type of people in general, you will need some limiting conditions.

"A celestial disk?"

"Yes, planetary movement is like the weather in the universe. Different astronomical cycles focus on different things. For example, when Jupiter and Uranus are in phase, the focus during this period is human technological progress. If it is put in the news, it may be digital currency, anti-aging drugs, aerospace, etc."

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Many people think that celestial phenomena have nothing to do with them, but their lives have long been surrounded by these things."

Qiu Qingkong thought thoughtfully: "Is there such a thing?"

Chu Qianli nodded and added, "Many major events in history can correspond to celestial phenomena, and sometimes they even blow up astrologers. It's like the closed system formed in the early days of astrology. Everyone believed that 'seven' was a perfect number. The ancient astrologers used seven planets for divination. However, Uranus was discovered, and the strict system was broken. Astrology was almost blown to death, and the scientific age has arrived."

While searching for books on clothing making, Tan Muxing raised his head and whispered, "Why do you, as an astrologer, seem to be taking pleasure in this?"

When Chu Qianli talked about "Astrology was almost blown up", he unexpectedly felt a sense of joy.

Chu Qianli raised his chin proudly: "Because astrology will never die, only people with rigid thinking will die. Uranus is the planet that represents change. Its appearance means questioning authority, transcending established procedures, and is a cure for all kinds of old-fashioned people!"

"There's nothing to be sad about astrologers losing their prestige. Stars don't care whether people believe them or not. Only those who rely on stars to gain power and status are worried." Chu Qianli's lips curled up slightly, and he said coldly, "Don't look at the problem from a development perspective. It's not normal for them to be blown up."

"..."Tan Muxing suddenly felt that her previous quarrels with other fortune tellers were not without reason.

Qiu Qingkong: "So we have decided on this theme? We are going to use the astronomical chart for next month."

Chu Qianli: "Yes, if the video is not released next month, it will expire. I feel that if you choose other topics, you will procrastinate and not release it after shooting."

Chu Qianli had a hunch that if she chose another topic, Qiu Qingkong's enthusiasm would fade after the filming, and the editing might become slow, because he could only be popular for three minutes.

Qiu Qingkong was stunned: "...So choosing this also has to cure my procrastination."

Qiu Qingkong just went to borrow a camera from a classmate, and the three of them planned to take some time off after school to shoot the film.

Qiu Qingkong posted some sample videos from a certain website in the group. She glanced at Chu Qianli's profile picture again and said helplessly, "Teacher, please use a WeChat profile picture."

Yu Xin helped Chu Qianli set up a bank card, but did not set a WeChat profile picture for his daughter, and the initial profile picture is still gray.

Qiu Qingkong felt that Chu Qianli was too lazy and had no intention of changing.

“But I don’t know what to use?”

"I'll post some pictures to the group, and we can use them together."

After Qiu Qingkong screened them, she sent many pictures to the group, not only helping Chu Qianli find a suitable avatar, but also forcing Tan Muxing to change his WeChat avatar to fit in with the group.

Chu Qianli's avatar is Kinomoto Sakura, Tan Muxing's avatar is Daidouji Tomoyo, Qiu Qingkong's avatar is Xiao Ke. This group suddenly became the "Cardcaptor Sakura" trio.

Chu Qianli said excitedly: "The white bear has evolved into Dadaoji Zhiyo!"

Tan Muxing: “…” I always feel like she is madly hinting at him to make clothes.

At home, after Tan Muxing put down his schoolbag, he began to think about what gloves should look like, not knowing what they should look like.

Beautiful and exquisite dolls were displayed on the shelf. He was in the room selecting pearls, lace and other materials when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He turned around and said, "Come in."

Outside the door, the family member did not come in, but asked cautiously: "Xingxing, are you okay at school today?"

Tan Muxing actually got into a fight with someone at school. It was the first time in history that he had ever done so. He had never even spoken loudly before.

His family knew that he was a pacifist and might be feeling down, so they came to greet him.

"Nothing?" Tan Muxing had forgotten about Wang Zheng. He was now assigned a task and was thinking about returning the gift.

"That's good. What are you doing in the house?"

"Designing." Tan Muxing hesitated for a few seconds and added softly, "I might be busy later today."

"Huh?" The family member paused for a moment. Unexpectedly, he was in a good mood. Finally, he advised kindly, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Don't get busy too late. Design this thing..."

“…It’s easy for hair to fall out.”

Tan Muxing heard footsteps leaving the door. He put away the Fool's card and placed it next to the desk. Then he searched the Internet for various hand-made tutorials.

On the day of the video shoot, Chu Qianli put on her new gloves. She looked at the beautiful hanging pearls and began to shake her hands excitedly. She listened to the touching sound of the pearls and broken crystals colliding, and exclaimed: "It's really the style you make clothes for dolls."

Tan Muxing sighed: "This is all we can do for the first time."

Qiu Qingkong commented: "These are not gloves, they look like Lolita style accessories? They are quite nice."

This looks like a fingerless hand accessory, made of purple silk, black lace, pearls, crushed crystals, etc. It has a mysterious and melancholy Gothic aesthetic, which fits the feel of a fortune teller.

Chu Qianli got the new equipment and she started recording smoothly, using tarot cards combined with the celestial disk to complete the video content.

Qiu Qingkong was the photographer. He only filmed Chu Qianli's hand movements and the cards. There were no bumps in the whole process.

Although the theme of the trio's recording is "What good things will happen next month", in reality, celestial phenomena are not fixed by month. Chu Qianli slightly adjusted the time, so the recording will be from the end of this month to next month.

Qiu Qingkong was afraid that the time would run out, so she edited the video overnight after filming and rushed to submit it for publication. She always does things this way, full of enthusiasm when she is excited, but she loses her energy when the enthusiasm fades. Fortunately, her efficiency has been good recently.

There were a lot of pirated videos on a certain site, and Qiu Qingkong's account was too new, so the initial click volume was not high.

Zhou Qian is a senior who is about to graduate. She has been extremely anxious about finding a job recently. She has applied for campus recruitments desperately but received no response. She has no idea what to do next.

Logically speaking, her internship record during her time in school was pretty good, so it shouldn't make sense that she couldn't get any offer. But strangely, there has been no news recently. Seeing her classmates settling down one after another, she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

People are most afraid of comparison. Once compared, there will be a gap, especially when they are in a bad mood.

In the dormitory, Zhou Qian opened her takeaway while skillfully opening a video on a certain website and began to look for dream material.

She recently developed a new hobby, which is to watch otaku videos on a certain website while eating. She just wants to look at careers and prospects, and if she hears good things, she can accumulate material for her daydreams.

Of course, she has been watching for three months and has done a lot of work, but there is still no news about work.

I don’t know whether divination and Tarot are effective, but the divination video is indeed good enough to go with rice.

The consequence of Zhou Qi's three-month frenzy of browsing big data is that the homepage of a certain website has been occupied by videos, many of which she has already watched. She casually clicked on a video titled "What good things will happen in X month" and decided to use it to kill time at noon today.

There are two fortune tellers in the video. Although neither of them shows their identities, they can be identified by their voices. The person in the front claims to be an apprentice of astrology. She emphasized that this video has a time limit and will expire if not watched in time, which is different from other videos on the site.

Zhou Qian glanced at the date and found that she had timed it well, just at the beginning of the cycle.

The real occupier is the latter person, who is respectfully called "Teacher" by the astrology apprentices, but the two seem to be about the same age.

"Now even the leeks-eating videos are telling crosstalk? And it takes two people to do it?" Zhou Qian started slurping the snail noodles. There was no one else in the dormitory, so it was a good opportunity for her to enjoy the delicious food.

Four options popped up in the video, allowing people to choose based on their first instinct. Zhou Qian casually clicked on one and jumped to the next video, intending to listen to what it would say.

The fortune teller in the video has already flipped the tarot cards skillfully. She wears delicate and beautiful accessories on her hands and explains in an orderly manner: "Recently, the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction with Aries, and are in opposition with the Moon in Libra. Some people will gain, while others will suffer setbacks. Everyone is eager for their efforts to be rewarded..."

Zhou Qi couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this saying nothing?"

The style of this video is slightly different. It doesn't start with interpreting the cards, which naturally made Zhou Qian feel confused.

Of course, after the fortune teller finished talking about the celestial phenomena, he got straight to the point and completed the analysis of the Tarot cards.

"But friends who choose this set of cards don't need to worry. Your past efforts have finally paid off. Although it may be a difficult time in the past, you will receive good news from the end of this month to the beginning of next month. It is basically related to study and career. Maybe you will receive an acceptance letter or find a good job, but it does not mean that everything will go smoothly..."

"It's smooth sailing to find a job." Zhou Qian was about to turn off the video when she heard her cell phone ding. She turned around and picked up her phone instead of turning off her iPad.

She found a test notification on her phone and couldn't help showing a look of surprise. She checked it in disbelief.

Could it be that dreams come true? Could it be that the material of daydreams actually came true?

The fortune teller in the video is still explaining: "The energy of the Libra Moon can easily put people in a dilemma. You may receive a lot of good news, but the explosive force will daze you and make you indecisive. For example, you are accepted by several schools, but suddenly you don’t know which one to choose. This card also means that you are afraid that the result of your choice will be bad..."

Before Zhou Qi put down her phone, another notification suddenly popped up. This time it was from a well-known manufacturer.

However, the two companies had conflicting test dates and were so far apart that they could not be conducted on the same day.

After Zhou Qian finished reading the text message, she looked up at the video and suddenly her expression became dull: "?" This is a bit weird?

Zhou Qian put the phone back on the table. This was like a slap in the face. She had just said that finding a job would be smooth sailing, but now her situation was really getting tricky!

She began to think about how to manage her time and whether she could communicate with HR to make some adjustments.

She once wondered why many HRs had agreed with the fortune tellers to release the interview information at this time?

On the table, the cell phone suddenly dinged again, just like a soul-calling bell!

Zhou Qi: “???”

Zhou Qian was delighted when she received the first notification, but her smile gradually disappeared when she received the third text message. This was a company she particularly admired, but their timings inexplicably conflicted!

Diviner: "This set of cards has both opportunities and challenges. There will be good news at the beginning of next month, but if you don't seize the opportunity or make an inappropriate choice, you will be very anxious at the end of the month. Finding a balance is your topic this month..."

Zhou Qi almost knelt on the spot. She was convinced and said in a sad voice, "Master, Master, I can't even wait until the end of the month. I am already very anxious!

She just panicked and tried nothing, now she panicked and tried too much!

Zhou Qian's phone finally went silent.

At this moment, the roommate suddenly pushed the door open and looked at Zhou Qian kneeling on the chair and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Qi: "I kneel down and apologize to the master."

roommate:"?"

Roommate: "By the way, you haven't found a job yet? There's a senior's project that's hiring. I heard they offer good pay, but I'm going back to my hometown to work, so I asked my roommate. Why don't you give it a try?"

Zhou Qi stood up numbly after hearing this, and suddenly realized, "I understand. The video I just watched was projected into the wrong area..."

"What were you watching? A TV show?"

"No, I watched a fortune-telling video, and it turned out to be a headhunting video." Zhou Qian began to browse the details of the video UP host and added, "This stuff is much more reliable than the career planning class in college."
