After Zhou Qi adjusted the interview time, she sent a message to the fortune teller, saying that she would inform him of the current situation after the interview.
Zhou Hao wanted to give Chu Qianli feedback on the results, but she didn't expect that the other party's level was no longer needed. The fortune teller has handled enough cases and basically knows the answer. Zhou Hao's question is relatively simple, and the error is actually very small.
However, Chu Qianli still agreed honestly. After all, Zhou Qian posted it on the business account, and maybe the actual case could be helpful to Qiu Qingkong's study.
Time at school goes by quickly.
After school, Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing went to the school gate together. When they got on the bus, they found that He Shichen was not there again. He Shichen had been very busy recently and always got home very late by bus. It seemed that he was attending a competition training class.
At the dinner table, Yu Xin asked Aunt Li to save the food for him, and then sat down to eat with Chu Qianli and He Zhenghe. Although He Shichen usually never said a word during a meal, it was a bit strange that his seat was empty.
Chu Qianli usually gets glared at by the money-printing machine when she eats. Today, no one tells her how to behave. She feels that even the white rice is not fragrant enough. She prefers to eat more happily after making someone angry.
Chu Qianli was much more well-behaved in front of her parents and did not show the arrogance she showed when facing He Shichen.
He Zhenghe smiled and said, "Since Shichen is not at home, Qianli has calmed down."
Yu Xin: "When you two are together, you always quarrel. I was afraid that you would quarrel, but when you are apart, you don't talk to each other."
"There is no contradiction." Chu Qianli said, "Although my brother will probably be furious after hearing this, I know him better than he knows himself."
He Shichen's knowledge of himself is limited, but Chu Qianli sees more things through the astrolabe. She succeeded in asking for money last time, and she is more and more convinced that her judgment is correct.
He Shichen was not present, so the three of them rarely talked about Chu Qianli's past. Yu Xin asked curiously, "What did you do after school?"
"It's pretty much the same as now. I go home after a walk in school, and occasionally go out with grandpa to help people solve problems..." Chu Qianli pondered, "During the holidays, we spend more time at home. Grandpa and I are both lazy, so we rely on fortune-telling to decide the winner every day. The loser has to clean the sanitation."
"Help people solve problems?"
"From small things like helping villagers find lost chickens to big things like setting wedding dates and checking Feng Shui when building a house."
Yu Xin looked dejected and said bitterly, "This is really amazing. I have never come across such a thing before."
Yu Xin finds it hard to imagine her daughter's past life and feels that she has missed too much.
Chu Qianli caught her mother's strange look and said softly, "Mom, I know what you are thinking, but it's not what you think."
Yu Xin was stunned.
Chu Qianli: "What my grandfather and I learned is just like playing cards. In the end, it's not about teaching people how to draw two kings and four twos at the beginning, but teaching people how to make the best choice with limited cards."
"You never missed something you never had. Don't always think about the good cards you didn't get. It's more important to keep an eye on the cards you have."
People always have many beautiful "ifs", if this thing had not happened, if everything was reasonable, but there are always twists and turns in the world, and things don't go as planned. Some people are born into rich families, while others are born without health. Things in the world are unpredictable.
Chu Qianli never thought that life in the village was bad. In terms of material conditions, it was indeed not as good as the He family, but those who only focused on fame and fortune basically had no destiny in this field.
Chu Qianli was unable to explain this to He Shichen, Yu Xin and others, but her grandfather, who understood her thoughts, had already passed away.
He Zhenghe brought the atmosphere to a climax. He raised his glass and praised: "Qian Li is still a little philosopher! We must have a toast!"
Chu Qianli happily toasted with his father.
Yu Xin's expression softened. She raised her cup and said with a smile, "Yes, there are still many days to come."
Chu Qianli was startled when he heard this, and finally reached out to clink glasses.
"……yes."
After dinner, the three of them stood up and walked towards the living room. He Zhenghe couldn't help but tease, "If Shi Chen was at home, he would urge you to do your homework right now."
Chu Qianli's eyes sparkled: "The implication is that if he's not around, can I not do it?"
Yu Xin smiled and said, "Take a short break before you do it again. There's no need to be so anxious."
Yu Xin had just walked to the sofa when she suddenly felt dizzy. She simply leaned on the edge of the sofa to rest and rubbed her temples.
Chu Qianli saw her suddenly stop and asked concernedly, "What's wrong with Mom?"
"Nothing, I probably got up too quickly." Yu Xin said helplessly, "I have all kinds of problems when I'm old. I often sweat at night."
Chu Qianli hurriedly asked, "Seek a doctor?"
Yu Xin: "It's not a big deal, it will be fine soon."
He Zhenghe: "What did the last physical examination show?"
"Everything is fine."
Everyone in the family has regular physical examinations. It has been a while since Yu Xin's last checkup, and she still remembers that her physical condition is fine, so she didn't take these minor problems to heart.
Chu Qianli was extremely nervous at this time. She circled around Yu Xin and suggested, "How about I tell Mom's fortune?"
Yu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can astrology cure diseases?"
Chu Qianli shook her head: "It can't cure diseases, but it can provide information, such as whether someone is sick or not."
Planets and constellations correspond to different parts of the body. Treatment definitely depends on doctors and medicines, but astrology can be used to see where the problem may be.
He Zhenghe smiled and advised: "Then let her calculate it. She is more anxious than you are. She is afraid that you will get sick."
Chu Qianli was like an ant on a hot pot and suddenly started to pester Yu Xin.
When Chu Qianli heard this, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, I am very afraid of getting sick, and I am also very afraid of death."
Chu Qianli was always careful with his words and actions when he was taking the lees face to face, for fear of saying the wrong thing and getting beaten up by the person asking him the lees. He was definitely the most afraid of death.
Seeing his daughter looking down in frustration, Yu Xin couldn't bear it, so he quickly responded, "Okay, okay, then you tell me the fortune!"
Yu Xin actually thought that astrology and medical treatment were far apart, but she couldn't refuse the enthusiastic Chu Qianli, so she hoped to reassure her daughter.
Chu Qianli didn't use dice or tarot cards. She directly took out the Divination Calculator and started to calculate the divination while sitting on the sofa.
The sixth house lord and the life lord form an inauspicious aspect, and the disease may worsen.
Chu Qianli frowned slightly and suggested, "Dad, should you ask a doctor to check on Mom?"
Yu Xin stopped him: "It's not that exaggerated. It's fine now."
Chu Qianli was well behaved and sensible just now, but now she turned into a naughty child in a second. She chanted madly: "Look, look, look, look..."
“…”
He Zhenghe finally called a doctor.
While undergoing the examination, Yu Xin sighed apologetically: "I'm so sorry to have you make another trip now. My daughter is too worried about my health..."
The doctor was familiar with the He family, and his attitude was very friendly: "Is this a new Versailles way to show off your children's filial piety?"
Yu Xin originally thought it was nothing serious, but the doctor suggested checking again the next day.
He Zhenghe looked surprised: "Do you mean we still need to check it?"
The doctor replied conservatively: "The situation is still uncertain. I suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed examination."
Yu Xin: "But my last physical examination showed nothing was wrong?"
"It's been a while since your last physical examination, and you've been worried a lot lately, so it would be better to have another checkup."
Yu Xin couldn't help but feel anxious. She was indeed worried. She was often unable to sleep in the middle of the night and always dreamed of scenes that made her cry.
Chu Qianli's return was a shock to the whole family. Yu Xin sometimes wanted to know about her daughter's past, but knowing it wouldn't change anything.
This is a feeling of helplessness. She doesn't know where to start to make up for it. She is left with endless psychological pressure. Her ability as a mother is so limited that she can never turn back time.
He Zhenghe: "Then I'll go with you for the checkup tomorrow."
Yu Xin nodded slowly. She suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, don't tell Shi Chen about this. He is preparing for a competition recently and will start to have wild thoughts after knowing this."
"Qian Liming will go to school as usual tomorrow. Dad and I will go to the hospital." After Yu Xin'an finished caressing her daughter, she smiled and said, "You are really accurate in your calculations."
Chu Qianli nodded obediently. Apart from counting carrots, she didn't know anything else and didn't understand the treatment process.
However, Yu Xin might have some health problems. After examination, he had a minor surgery and was admitted to the hospital within two days.
Chu Qianli learned from the fortune telling that Yu Xin's life was not in danger, but she just needed to recuperate for a period of time. She would occasionally go to the ward after school and chat with Yu Xin about some useless jokes, and avoid doing homework under the pretext of taking care of her mother.
Yu Xin and He Zhenghe saw through the situation but kept silent. They felt that it was not good to not learn anything all the time. However, Chu Qianli was really good at making jokes. Occasionally, they would be coaxed by her and forget about their work.
They discovered that their daughter had a way to erase her memory, and as they were chatting, she erased the original topic.
He Shichen soon discovered something unusual at home. First, Chu Qianli had been surprisingly well behaved these past two days, and second, Yu Xin never met him, so he naturally became suspicious.
At home, He Shichen glanced at the shoe cabinet. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Aunt Li, where is my mother?"
Aunt Li said vaguely with guilt: "Ah..."
He Shichen: "What has she been busy with these past two days? Why can't I see her?"
He Shichen has been coming back from school lately, so he can't have dinner with his family. He can still meet Chu Qianli and He Zhenghe, but he can't find Yu Xin. Today, he came back early, but still didn't see his mother.
Yu Xin deliberately asked her family to keep He Shichen a secret, but Aunt Li had no choice but to tell the truth when questioned.
He Shichen learned the truth and rushed to the hospital without saying anything. At the same time, he felt it was ridiculous that his mother had to undergo surgery and still wanted to compete. It didn't matter if he got a few points less. He still knew what was more important.
He Shichen arrived at the hospital exhausted and quickly found his mother's single room.
The door of the ward was ajar, and warm light shone through from inside.
He Shichen rushed over in a hurry. Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, he was stunned when he saw the situation in the room and could not help but stop his anxious steps.
Inside the room, Chu Qianli was lying on the head of the bed talking to Yu Xin. She made her mother giggle with her exaggerated movements, while He Zhenghe stood aside and clapped happily in agreement.
This is truly a warm family scene, filled with the endless beauty of the world.
It seemed like he shouldn't have gone in and broken everything at this moment.
He Shichen was at a loss.
He has never believed in so-called feelings and only believed in indestructible interests. However, Chu Qianli's strange abilities did not completely defeat him. The scene before him became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
He thought Chu Qianli was naive and stupid, but so were Yu Xin and He Zhenghe.
They let themselves be in danger by staying.
They were originally a harmonious and happy family of three. He was an ugly intruder who was actually not needed by this family.
He Shichen had been adjusting his mentality, and now he suddenly made a decision in his heart. He didn't know where he belonged, but it seemed that he shouldn't stay here.
There was a knock on the door outside the ward. Yu Xin and others were all surprised when they saw He Shichen walk in.
Yu Xin smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it from you. You even said you were afraid of disturbing your competition."
"Those two points are not important." He Shichen looked calm, but then asked worriedly, "Do I still need surgery?"
"It's just a minor surgery, and I'll be discharged right after it's done. It's actually very quick." He Zhenghe added, "I'll be able to go home next week."
He Shichen's expression eased a little when he heard this. He glanced at Chu Qianli hiding in the corner and said calmly, "Have you finished your homework?"
Chu Qianli raised her orchid finger and laughed, "I'm observing the celestial phenomena tonight, so I don't have time to do my homework tonight."
He Shichen pointed out: "It's not dark yet, what celestial phenomena can you observe?"
Yu Xin and He Zhenghe both laughed out loud.
Yu Xin: "Indeed, Qianli should go home with brother, and daddy can stay here. You can't stay in the hospital all the time."
Yu Xin felt that it was not good to keep his daughter in the hospital all the time, as it would interfere with other important matters.
Chu Qianli let out a dissatisfying sound.
Finally, He Zhenghe stayed to accompany Chu Qianli and He Shichen to go home by car.
Inside the villa, He Shichen packed the things into the suitcase according to categories. He opened the bedroom door first and listened to the sounds in Chu Qianli's room. After making sure there was nothing unusual, he went back and gently pulled out the suitcase.
Downstairs, Aunt Li also kept her door closed. She never went out at night and had a very regular schedule.
He Zhenghe and Yu Xin were not at home, and Aunt Li was resting, so no one would know anything.
The night was dark, the moon and stars were sparse, and the villa area was extremely lonely.
He Shichen quietly carried his suitcase and went out. He didn't know where to go, but he shouldn't stay here. The world was so big, but there was no place for him to stay.
He Shichen started to move forward, but suddenly heard a familiar voice in the courtyard, mixed with strange animation sound effects.
"Brother, you said I'm not very smart, but I think you have a problem with your brain because you ran away from home in the middle of the night."
Chu Qianli squatted on a stone chair in the courtyard. She was watching an animation on her phone. She pressed the pause button and muttered, "You went out to steal the manhole cover in the middle of the night?"
He Shichen was holding the handle of the suitcase and was stunned. Facing Chu Qianli who had unexpectedly appeared in the yard, he asked in surprise: "What are you doing here so late at night?"
Chu Qianli said confidently: "I am observing the celestial phenomena at night."
He Shichen pointed angrily at the phone screen on the stone table and questioned, "This is clearly an animation. How can you observe the celestial phenomena?"
Chu Qianli acted arrogantly, waving her hands casually: "Observing the celestial phenomena is done with the heart, not with the eyes. I can't explain it clearly to you ordinary people."
very good.
He Shichen's fist began to harden.
"Go back to your room and stop wandering around in the middle of the night!" He Shichen was furious. He pointed at the door and scolded, "You have to go to class tomorrow, and you are practicing Taoism here!?"
Chu Qianli said disdainfully: "What qualifications do you have to say this to me?"
"What qualifications do I have..." He Shichen said angrily, "No, stop interrupting me and go back to the house!"
Chu Qianli: "No, if you have the guts, go back first."
He Shichen: "If you have the ability, why don't you go back first!?"
Chu Qianli: "I have no ability."
He Shichen: “???”
He Shichen was in a dilemma. He wanted to pack up and leave, but it was not right for Chu Qianli to sit outside alone at night. He wanted to call He Zhenghe to come back and take care of someone, but that would hinder his plan to leave at night.
He Shichen froze in place, not knowing what to do.
It was a rare opportunity for him to act rebelliously, but he ran into the ancestor of rebellion and was instantly pinned to the ground and hammered.
He Shichen once wondered if she had anticipated his departure and was waiting here to guard him.
He Shichen thought about this, he pulled the box again, and said in a deep voice: "I will talk to Dad first tomorrow, and then we will talk about it after Mom recovers. I have found a place to stay, you don't need to stop here and persuade me, just go back to the house..."
He Shichen always felt that she used this trick to stop him, which made her naive and stupid.
He has been repositioning his identity recently and is not making rash decisions on impulse.
"...You should go back soon. This has nothing to do with you." He Shichen added in a low voice.
Chu Qianli is the person who should not feel guilty. There is no reason for her to worry about this matter.
Of course, Chu Qianli lived up to He Shichen's expectations. She did not offer any advice, but waved goodbye to him in a friendly manner, saying decisively, "Okay, bye!"
Chu Qianli didn't stop him, nor did she go back into the house. She continued watching the cartoon.
He Shichen: “…”
He Shichen completely dispelled her absurd speculation that she was waiting for him. Seeing that she didn't move, he became even more furious: "Go back to the house! Don't force me to yell at you!!"
He is now looking forward to his parents coming back soon so that he can take care of his child by himself. He can't stand it even one more day like this.
