He Shichen tried his best to get Chu Qianli back to the house, but failed. Finally, he pulled up the box in a rage and said coldly, "Then you stay here. I'm leaving."

The security in the villa area is pretty good, so I think she will be fine and there is no need to worry about her anymore.

Chu Qianli stared down at the cartoon. She said goodbye calmly, "Goodbye, rootless person."

He Shichen turned back suspiciously: "What did you say? Who?"

"A rootless person." Chu Qianli raised his head, glanced at the animation subconsciously, and said casually, "This is an important turning point in your life, just like the fork in the road in a game. Stepping out of this door will lead to a completely different future."

He Shichen chose to leave home and became a rootless grass.

"This is different from the small choices in life. It can be said to be a major event in a person's life. Some people will refer to these things when doing birth time correction."

Everyone's daily life will not change much, but there are always some events that bring big breakthroughs, such as getting married, studying abroad, moving, buying a house, etc.

He Shichen got a headache when he heard about metaphysics, and frowned, "Talk about the world of the living."

Chu Qianli looked up at the sky, then glanced at the current time, and murmured, "It's still early..."

"It's night now, of course we're talking about the underworld, how about we chat about the underworld for a while?" Chu Qianli smiled and patted the stone bench next to him, coaxing, "Come on, come on, spend some time with me!"

He Shichen was silent for a moment, then sneered, "That's why I said you are naive and stupid."

"What?"

"Would it be bad for you if I left?" He Shichen said with a sneer, "Do you have to let me show you some social news about wrongly held children and let you see the dark side of society before you can wake up?"

He Shichen turned around, took two steps forward, and looked at Chu Qianli across the yard railing.

The dense leaves of the vines coiled around the railings cast a shadow on his face, shrouding him in the deep night.

He Shichen mocked, "You do have some small skills, but you are far behind in other aspects. If I were to rob you of your property or try to cause you to get into an accident, you wouldn't even be able to fight back."

He Shichen was used to guessing other people's opinions with dark thoughts. He was very alert when Chu Qianli just came home. However, there was indeed something missing in Chu Qianli's mind. He had no idea of ​​competition or infighting at all.

He also thought that Yu Xin and He Zhenghe were too outrageous. They did not understand the dangerous nature of his identity at all and were so trusting that they allowed him to come into contact with Chu Qianli.

He could immediately come up with a shady plan. The simplest one was to wipe out the family. He just needed to put on a friendly face at home and take down Chu Qianli. In the end, everything would be back in his hands.

He didn't understand what these people were thinking, forcing him to tell the worst.

Chu Qianli was unmoved by the threats and said lightly, "I understand. It's just the dark side of people. Everyone has dark thoughts, but how we think and how we act are different."

Seeing her indifferent, He Shichen gritted his teeth and said, "You don't understand at all..."

"I understand. How could I not understand?" Chu Qianli said leisurely, "You were thinking how great it would be if I disappeared? Or how great it would be if I wasn't the wrong person in the first place? Why did you have the bad luck to encounter such a thing? Why were you suddenly put in the position of the perpetrator?"

He Shichen was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes became complicated: "...Why can you say this so calmly?"

He Shichen was about to suspect that Chu Qianli was the Virgin Mary. She had no reaction when she learned his true thoughts, as if she didn't take his dark thoughts seriously at all.

"Brother, everyone has a dark side, and I am no exception." Chu Qianli laughed, "I often have dark thoughts, such as 'Why can even such a person live a hundred years', or 'Stupid people who know nothing call me naive and stupid'. Sometimes when I encounter them, I really want to crush them."

He Shichen: “…”

Chu Qianli blinked, her face obedient, and she said softly: "But I have controlled myself. By the way, the latter is talking about you, you can start to identify yourself."

He Shichen found that he was easily provoked by her. He took a deep breath and thought her words were ridiculous. He mocked her incredulously: "Do you think you can crush me!?"

He Shichen received a good education since childhood, so it is impossible for him to just take advantage of the difference in strength to attack. He felt that someone else would be able to slap Chu Qianli to the ground.

"You think you are very strong, right? Whether it's brains or strength, you are stronger than me." Chu Qianli said calmly, "Have you heard of Rupert's Tears?"

"Glass tears are much harder than ordinary glass. They can withstand tons of pressure without breaking. But if you pinch their tails, they will fall apart. You are just like Rupert's Tears. You don't even know that your tail is so fragile. But I discovered this a long time ago. It's just a matter of whether I want to pinch it or not."

He Shichen has the arrogance of an elite. He will indeed become the elite among elites, but that doesn't mean he has no weaknesses.

He had been squeezed out by Chu Qianli for so long that he had not left the house. Just seeing the warm scene of the family of three, he suddenly made up his mind. It was nothing more than being stepped on.

People always wonder about the collapse of a strong person. Why does that person collapse at the slightest setback when he is so powerful and glorious? Why does he choose to leave in such a decisive and violent way?

The person himself may not understand it, but the horoscope reflects his subconscious.

He Shichen thought she was just pretending to be cool and wasted time, so he said calmly, "That's enough. I don't want to hear you play tricks on me. If you want to say something like this, just say it slowly."

Chu Qianli said slowly: "That's what you said, but I can make you stay and listen with just one sentence."

He Shichen sneered: "How is that possible?"

He Shichen picked up his suitcase and left, unwilling to get involved with Chu Qianli anymore.

Chu Qianli: "I have known my origins since I was born, but I have no intention of coming back."

Her words were soaked in the night breeze, bringing a slight coolness to her ears.

"...What did you say?" He Shichen turned around in disbelief, only to see her sitting quietly in the yard, still looking nonchalant.

Facing his astonishment, Chu Qianli patted the stone bench beside her and said with a smile: "Can we chat about the underworld for a while now?"

In the courtyard, He Shichen finally sat on a stone bench. He now felt as if he was being controlled, as if he had fallen into her trap.

Not only did he not leave the house, he was also tricked into his yard.

Chu Qianli paused the cartoon, and as soon as He Shichen sat down, he asked, "Why don't you come back?"

If Chu Qianli had been switched back when he was just born, many things that happened later would not have happened, and He Shichen would not have fallen into a passive situation.

"Because that is not the best choice. If it is better to switch back, I will definitely come back." Chu Qianli started to play on his phone and said casually, "This is the attitude that many people take for granted. They always use their own logic to apply to everything and don't know how to analyze specific problems."

"The same logic applies to the social news you show me. There is no such thing as 'hypothesis' or 'if' in the world. If one of us were to change, things would not happen the way they did."

Chu Qianli sighed helplessly: "Alas, every time I explain these really annoying things to others, my dark side is about to be aroused."

Chu Qianli was tired and always felt that she couldn't explain it clearly to this group of people. However, an astrologer must provide positive guidance to the other party, so she had to control her temper and persuade them patiently.

"The world is so beautiful, but I am so irritable. This is not good." Chu Qianli took a deep breath and gently reminded herself, "I must be humble, friendly, and be an excellent Marxist believer. I can't argue with the unenlightened people."

If Chu Qianli had not studied astrology, her attitude towards some people would be "this person has something wrong with his brain", but now that she has studied astrology, her attitude has become "understand the diversity of the horoscope, and understand the way this person's horoscope expresses energy."

I have to say that astrology has improved her morale, and in a sense it is like a spiritual practice.

He Shichen said angrily: "...Who are you implying?"

Chu Qianli held up the star map on her phone and waved it in front of He Shichen's eyes: "Okay, this is my brother's birth star map, let's start from here."

He Shichen: “?”

Chu Qianli seemed to be thinking about something. "Your star map is very interesting. Most of the stars are concentrated in the tenth and fourth houses. These two houses happen to be opposite each other. Most of the stars are located in the lower hemisphere, but there is a lone star in the upper hemisphere. This lone star may exert the same power as the star cluster."

He Shichen: “???”

He Shichen frowned and stopped him: "Wait, why are you suddenly talking about that again?"

He Shichen stayed to find out why she didn't come back, but she started to analyze her birth chart.

"Shut up! You don't charge for the horoscope, so don't have so many opinions!" Chu Qianli said angrily, "If I wasn't just killing time, would I have to waste my time talking to you?"

“…”

The next second, Chu Qianli continued: "The fourth house is the family house, depicting the influence of the original family. The tenth house is the desired life goal, showing our desire to be praised or admired. When people are young, they first want to win the attention of their parents, so the tenth house is actually related to parents."①

He Shichen wanted to leave now, but he found that Chu Qianli was too talkative and he couldn't leave at all, so he had to listen patiently.

Chu Qianli: "From the star map, my brother's life is inseparable from his parents and family. No matter how cold and mercenary you appear, you are actually a person with a strong sense of family responsibility. The proudest thing is to fight for the family's honor..."

"But unfortunately, your planets are in opposition and conflict, and the most painful thing for you also comes from your family and the contradiction between your inner parent image. I'm afraid it's the conflict between your biological parents and the family in your vision. Your original beliefs were completely shattered, and you suddenly lost your life goals."

Before He Shichen learned about his life experience, he thought everything was natural. He believed that he would carry forward the He family and become an heir praised by his parents and others.

However, when he learned the true face of his biological parents, his long-held goal was suddenly destroyed. In fact, he was not someone his family needed, and he became confused for a while.

He is a person who firmly believes in interests. Only blood ties and interests can make him feel that the alliance is unbreakable. The current bizarre situation is no less than reshaping his worldview.

In the original novel, He Shichen also ran away from home. This actually had nothing to do with the relationship between the original male protagonist and the original female supporting role, but because He Shichen would never be with the child whose identity he had swapped with.

This is determined by his personality. Whether it is the Chu Qianli in the original book or the current Chu Qianli, he will have a sense of guilt and responsibility, but he will never develop love between men and women.

He knows his own identity better than anyone else, and can calculate the pros and cons better than anyone else. Others can pretend not to know, but he will not pretend not to understand.

So, he ran away in the face of the infatuation of his former female partner. He didn't know how to solve this problem and could only avoid it in this way.

He Shichen stared at the star map in front of him in silence. He tried to keep calm, but he kept pinching his fingers to hide his inner emotions. After a moment, he whispered, "So?"

He admitted that Chu Qianli was right, but what could he do about it?

His subconscious knew everything, so he had to leave.

Chu Qianli turned off the birth star map, and then she pulled out the divination plate and said slowly, "After a simple analysis of brother's star map, we can deduce two paths and see how events will develop under different choices."

"First, you are leaving home without looking back, and you will achieve success through your own efforts in the future, but unfortunately you will spend your whole life escaping the influence of your original family. The pain you are experiencing now will not decrease, but will double as time goes by."

Chu Qianli smiled brightly. She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Sometimes you think you have forgotten everything, but you still remember everything in your dreams at midnight, like a nightmare that you can't get rid of. Congratulations on getting a BE ending."

Leaving home won't solve anything for He Shichen. He still thinks of Yu Xin and He Zhenghe, but he knows that he is no longer qualified to return to this home.

He Shichen was inexplicably furious when he saw her cheerful look, and said unhappily, "Are you so sure that I will feel guilty? Maybe I don't care about these things at all!"

Chu Qianli heard him being stubborn and waved his hand, "Then you can give it a try. Whoever feels uncomfortable knows it in their heart. I won't make choices for others. I'm just laying out the possibilities for the future."

He Shichen was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "...What is the other way?"

Chu Qianli said that there are two possible paths to deduce, but He Shichen can only think of one at the moment.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Brother is a person who only cares about interests, so it's useless for me to persuade you with feelings. Another way is to form an alliance based on interests. You can't define your own identity now, but I can help you balance your mind."

“How to balance?”

"You don't know how to get along with me, so just use money to talk. I tell you the truth, you will make a lot of money in the future, and I want all your income for the next 17 years to buy out the 17 years of our misplaced identities." Chu Qianli added, "You can settle the debts you owe to your parents yourself, but once you pay me, I'll be done with it."

"The other way is that you pay money to stay at home. Of course, it won't be easy for you. You will have to take on the responsibility of supporting your parents and taking care of your family. But you seem to enjoy contributing to your family. I don't know if this path will end in a happy ending, but it's better than a happy ending."

He Shichen thought for a moment and asked, "Does this mean that no matter how my parents divide the family property, you want all my income for the next seventeen years?"

Chu Qianli nodded: "That's right."

He Shichen said sternly, "Why seventeen years? The influence of a person's childhood stays with them for the rest of their lives. It would be more reasonable to ask for a proportional share of my future income. Maybe I will earn more in my old age than when I was young."

"You can cut it so finely?" Chu Qianli's eyes widened in surprise. "That's possible."

He Shichen said calmly: "Since it is said that it is an alliance of interests, then we must make it clear in advance, so that you won't be accused of taking advantage of you later."

Chu Qianli couldn't help but mutter secretly: "That's true, but actually seventeen years is good for me..."

He Shichen didn't hear her mumbling. He had already lowered his head to write the contract on his phone. He quickly handed it to Chu Qianli and said in a businesslike manner, "See if you have anything else to add."

Chu Qianli looked at the detailed contract and exclaimed: "Although I knew you were this kind of person, you made the decision so decisively. Don't you know how much money you can make in the future?"

"It doesn't matter." He Shichen pursed his lips and said, "What I'm buying now is my freedom."

He Shichen couldn't think of a way to save himself. If he wanted to go on with a clear conscience, he had to pay the price for his natural stain.

Chu Qianli was right, he was in great pain now and needed a balance.

After the two checked the contract, He Shichen started to transfer the money.

He Shichen: "This is my current income. The remaining money needs to be kept in the account and cannot be transferred to you immediately."

"Just call me if you think the situation is right." Chu Qianli waved her hand generously. She looked at the balance with joy. "Not bad, the banknote printing machine is fully assembled!"

He Shichen: “?”

He Shichen always felt that something was wrong, but Chu Qianli had made it clear that he had bought it with money, so he really couldn't find any fault. To be honest, he felt much better now, and the anxiety he had felt for many days had disappeared.

He Shichen stood up, feeling relaxed all of a sudden, and urged, "Okay, now that the business is done, you should go back to the house."

Chu Qianli: "No."

He Shichen looked surprised: "...Didn't I transfer all the money to you?"

Chu Qianli nodded calmly: "Yes, but I didn't say to go back to the house after taking the money."

He Shichen: “?”

Chu Qianli: "Brother, I am really observing the night sky. I am not here to block you. There is an astronomical phenomenon tonight."

He Shichen: “???”

Seeing that she still didn't move, He Shichen couldn't help but roar, "Go back to the house! It's already three o'clock in the morning!!"

Chu Qianli had already put away her phone. She looked up at the sky earnestly and said, "Don't rush me, don't rush me. I'll be here in two minutes..."

He Shichen found her so stubborn that he could only stand by and accompany her impatiently.

Two minutes later, He Shichen looked at the starry sky where nothing was happening and said speechlessly, "So where are your astronomical phenomena?"

The night went on as usual, without any change.

Chu Qianli was equally disappointed. She sighed in dissatisfaction and complained, "The stars in your city are just not good! They are not as bright as those in our village!"

She could still observe the stars with her naked eyes in the village, but now she can't see anything when she returns to the city.

He Shichen: "..." Does he have to apologize to her on behalf of the stars in the city?

The two of them watched the stars in vain in the middle of the night and had to return home without any gain.

He Shichen carried the box up to the second floor again. He stood at the bedroom door and suddenly said, "By the way, I have a question."

Chu Qianli asked cautiously, "What's the problem? Are you going to regret after paying the money?"

"...No." He Shichen hesitated, "Why do you say that I raised my parents alone?"

Chu Qianli was stunned.

He Shichen was very alert and asked, "What are you doing?"

As He Shichen's sensitive emotions subsided, his intelligence began to take over again, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

Chu Qianli said lazily: "Of course I am just eating and waiting to die. A lazy person like me should just not cause trouble to my parents. How can I possibly support them?"

He Shichen: “…”

He Shichen decisively pushed the door open and walked into the house. He slammed the bedroom door shut, thinking that he really shouldn't have too much contact with naughty kids.
