Chapter 3 The Third Star



During the break, Tan Muxing stole a glance at Chu Qianli who was sleeping soundly by the window, and then saw He Shichen approaching with a serious face, and was immediately startled. He had been sitting here with no one paying attention to him, but Chu Qianli's arrival attracted many eyes.

He Shichen is the top student in his class. He is at the top of his class in terms of academic performance and fame. Although he declined the position of class monitor, he is very prestigious in the class. Although all his classmates were born into wealth, the former heir of the He family is different. Apart from the bonus of his family background, he is also outstanding.

Of course, the current heir of the He family was sleeping next to Tan Muxing, and she was unaware in her dream that her predecessor was rushing towards her with great momentum.

He Shichen said calmly: "Hello, please make way for me."

Tan Muxing leaned back helplessly, looking at the scene in a dilemma.

He Shichen reached out and knocked on Chu Qianli's desk impatiently. He found that she was sleeping soundly and had no reaction. Finally, he patted her unhappily and said coldly, "Wake up."

Chu Qianli looked up at him sleepily, having no idea what was wrong with He Shichen.

He Shichen was facing his ignorant competitor. He wanted to refute him and say that he had brought shame to the He family. However, he had never spared any harsh words since he was a child. In the end, he said stiffly: "The He family has never had a lazy person like you who has no ambition!"

He thought that was harsh.

His father, He Zhenghe, was a very talented person. He worked hard during the day and studied at night. His mother, Yu Xin, was also well-educated. She was very knowledgeable about art and was definitely not a superficial person.

He Shichen has always been strict with himself. In his opinion, Chu Qianli should also work hard, otherwise how can he manage such a large industry.

Chu Qianli: "?" What does this mean? There are no lazy people in the family?

Chu Qianli said casually: "Oh, then I have it now, I am quite special."

He Shichen: “!!?” Do you still have any shame?

He Shichen had never seen such a naughty child before, and he had no experience in education, so he could only sternly warn him: "I don't want to see you sleeping in the next class again."

Chu Qianli promised: "No sleep."

He Shichen's expression eased a little after hearing this, and he returned to his seat with satisfaction.

Tan Muxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the dispute was over. He said kindly, "It's really not good to sleep during class..."

He was afraid that the two heirs of the He family would quarrel in public, but the relationship between the two sides did not seem to be as tense as rumored.

Chu Qianli nodded: "Yes, I just slept enough, it's time to find something to eat."

Tan Muxing: “?”

In the second class, He Shichen discovered that Chu Qianli was eating snacks during class. His mentality collapsed in an instant. He had never seen such an outrageous person!

Chu Qianli hadn't listened to the class attentively all morning, and she was finally lectured by He Shichen during lunch break.

He Shichen said sternly: "I mean you should do something serious!" She moved at every word he said, and ate snacks instead of sleeping.

Chu Qianli curled her lips speechlessly.

Fortunately, the education project did not last long, and people around him came to the rescue in time: "Shi Chen, do you want to go eat?"

Because there were other people in the class, He Shichen stopped lecturing and decided to discuss the matter in detail in the evening.

Chu Qianli watched He Shichen leave. She propped her head with one hand and couldn't help muttering, "Capricorns are troublesome. They are dull and lifeless, but they are also very ambitious..."

He Shichen could just make progress on his own, why did he have to drag her along with him!

Tan Muxing asked curiously, "Capricorn stars? He Shichen is a Capricorn?"

Chu Qianli: "It's not a solar sign, but there are several stars in Capricorn, so he has a strong Capricorn attribute."

Tan Muxing: "How many stars?"

"I mean the astrolabe." Chu Qianli asked habitually, "Can you tell me your date, month, time and place of birth?"

Tan Muxing blinked in confusion. He was not good at refusing others, so he obediently told them his information.

Chu Qianli made a rough plan in her mind. Suddenly, she looked stunned. She found some paper and drew some figures. She looked up at him in surprise and exclaimed, "You are a big shot, just like He Shichen!"

He Shichen is the protagonist of the novel. His horoscope is quite unique and it is obvious that he is not an ordinary person.

But the birth chart of Twilight Star is no less impressive.

Tan Muxing looked like a cute white bear. He waved his hands in panic and said, "Impossible! I am far worse than him!"

He Shichen is outstanding in every aspect, while Tan Muxing has a bad relationship with people. The two cannot be compared at all.

"Too many good aspects can make people weak. You just haven't tapped into your strength yet." Chu Qianli said slowly, "I'm not going to preach to you. This is just a small suggestion from me as an astrologer. Confidence is the first step to your growth."

Although the birth chart of Tan Muxing has few punishments, it does not mean that everything will go smoothly. Too favorable conditions make people indulge, and important breakthroughs in life often come in adversity, and pain inspires endless power.

Chu Qianli's attitude was very serious, completely different from his carelessness in the morning, which surprised Tan Muxing deeply.

Tan Muxing wanted to continue to explain, but when he heard her say that she should be more confident, he whispered, "Then I'll give you my good wishes."

Chu Qianli said with satisfaction: "Not bad, shall we go for dinner?"

Tan Muxing: "Ah? With me? Don't you want to make some new friends?"

Chu Qianli stood up leisurely: "Xingxing said that maybe we can be friends."

Tan Muxing was in a delicate mood. He asked weakly, "So you completely listen to Xingxing?"

He seemed to understand Chu Qianli's thinking. She always made choices based on the stars, and she came to him because of the stars.

Chu Yueyi glanced at him and said, "Be more confident. The stars are only there to guide people. They only tell me who is suitable to be friends with, but actually getting along with each other depends on both sides to maintain it together."

"The stars can help people, but people have to work hard themselves, otherwise the stars can do nothing."

Tan Muxing's heart was stirred by her words. He seemed to understand and digest them: "So that's how it is."

Chu Qianli said slowly: "But I'm still lazy. You work hard for our friendship, and I'll just give you a little bit of appreciation."

Tan Muxing: “?”

Tan Muxing: "You look like a charlatan or a liar."

Chu Qianli: "Be more confident and get rid of the image."

Tan Muxing: "..."

In the beautifully decorated cafeteria, Tan Muxing took Chu Qianli to her first meal of the school. He told her what the school's special dishes were, and helped her get tableware and line up to serve the food. He spoke softly and was considerate throughout the whole process.

Chu Qianli said with emotion: "You have the warmth of a mother."

Tan Muxing was stunned when he heard this. His eyes dimmed, but when he saw her frank expression, he mustered up his courage and said, "I don't like this statement."

Chu Qianli looked surprised: "Why?"

"Because..." Tan Muxing hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth in an almost inaudible voice, "Because I usually like to do handicrafts, and the boys in the class said they like it just like the girls."

Wang Zheng and others always laughed at Tan Muxing's effeminate nature, which naturally made him a little sensitive to some words.

Chu Qianli was surprised and asked, "You can also do handicrafts? What do you do?"

Tan Muxing: "...weaving scarves, sewing clothes, and some other things."

Chu Qianli: "So you are so capable that you sewed it all by yourself?"

"Yes, I design and sew by myself..." Tan Muxing was surprised to see that she was not opposed to it, and asked, "Don't you think it's strange? I like to do this?"

Chu Qianli: "It's not surprising. It's amazing to be able to make clothes. And there's nothing wrong with being able to do the same as a girl."

"If a person only has one trait, he is incomplete, just like some people only use the sun sign to define themselves, but they don't know that everyone has the power of the twelve signs." Chu Qianli shrugged carelessly, "You are a boy and you can be the same as a girl, which means you are very complete, this is a compliment to you!"

Tan Muxing had never heard such a statement before. He always thought it was malicious sarcasm before, but now she called it perfection. He pondered for a few seconds and said softly, "You are really good at complimenting people. I feel embarrassed when you do this."

They had just met and she was praising him to the skies.

Chu Qianli said helplessly: "This is the fate of astrologers. When you tell the truth, the other party will think it's a lie."

Tan Muxing pursed her lips and said gently: "But you are right. Maybe we can really be friends."

She was the first person to say such words to him, and even made him start to believe what the stars said.

The two of them served their food, sat down at an empty table, and began to enjoy their meal happily, while also talking about the trivial daily life at school.

The cafeteria was filled with students of all grades. The table next to Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing was filled with girls from the same class, who were chatting away. Their idle chatter drifted in with the wind and fell clearly into Chu Qianli's ears.

"But your zodiac sign is very compatible with his, and both of you have a crush on each other, it would be a shame if they don't get together!" Qiu Qingkong urged excitedly while searching on his phone, "I saw a zodiac blogger said you will have a romantic encounter this week."

Ruan Ya was a little shy and said hesitantly: "Maybe I don't mean that..."

Qiu Qingkong said excitedly: "Taurus and Virgo are a perfect match!"

Chu Qianli: "Not necessarily. You can't be too sure."

When Tan Muxing heard Chu Qianli suddenly interrupt him, he immediately raised his head in confusion, not expecting her sudden action.

The girls at the next table were all stunned. They were not familiar with the new classmate and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Qiu Qingkong lowered his voice and said, "But the internet says Taurus Virgo..."

Chu Qianli said indifferently, "It's too casual to believe what you read on the Internet."

Qiu Qingkong was inexplicably criticized, and she blushed and said: "If you don't believe in horoscopes, then don't believe in them. Why do you have to deliberately make a fuss and slander others? We are..." using horoscopes for entertainment.

"I didn't say I don't believe in horoscopes. I just said don't believe what you see online. If you want to believe something, trust something reliable." Chu Qianli stood up decisively. She took out the poker from her pocket and began to shuffle the cards smoothly. "Everyone's situation is different. The accuracy of most people's analysis is low."

The girls looked at Chu Qianli blankly as she shuffled the cards. Countless cards fluttered between her fingers like butterflies, just like a stunt scene in a movie.

Tan Muxing was also standing there in shock, not knowing what she was going to do.

"Do you want to know what that person thinks of you? And how the relationship will develop next?" Chu Qianli asked casually while shuffling the cards and looking at Ruan Ya.

Ruan Ya responded subconsciously: "Yes."

Chu Qianli handed her the fan-shaped poker cards and said, "Take your pick."

Ruan Ya tentatively took out three cards and placed them on the dining table one by one.

6 of Spades, 7 of Hearts, 4 of Spades.

Chu Qianli glanced at the cards and said calmly, "You are very attractive in his heart. You have a good impression of being smart and hardworking. He likes you very much now, but if you stay together, you may have differences in studies and reality, and you may be tired of dealing with future disputes."

Ruan Ya said disappointedly: "Does this mean it's inappropriate?"

Chu Qianli: "No, this is just short-term luck, and I am only suggesting it. The choice is yours."

Qiu Qingkong questioned: "But how do you prove that what you said is correct?"

Qiu Qingkong had only seen tarot divination before, and had never seen poker divination, so she was naturally skeptical.

Chu Qianli glanced at the other party, she took back the three cards that Ruan Ya had touched, and randomly drew a few more cards, saying with ease: "After dinner, go to the hottest place in the school. You have a chance to run into that person, and he might confess to you."

Ruan Ya hurriedly asked, "Where is the hottest place in the school?"

Chu Qianli was surprised and said, "How would I know? I just got here today."

She relied on Tan Muxing to lead the way to the cafeteria and now she was completely unfamiliar with the campus.

On the other hand, He Shichen was receiving comfort from his friends. Everyone around him was aware of the huge changes in his and Chu Qianli's identities and understood his subtle and confused mood.

"It's okay. I don't think she can get along with the people in the class. Now is the time to pay attention to personal connections. It will be difficult for her to fit in. She has been living in a different environment since she was a child..."

"But this is also because I took her place, isn't it?" He Shichen now has a complicated attitude towards Chu Qianli. He will be vigilant and fight back when facing threats, but when he sees that she is as incompetent as waste, he begins to feel sorry for her.

After all, he was monopolizing resources that belonged to her. If she had been born into a wealthy family, she would have been ambitious.

He is now torn into two halves, one half is dark selfish thinking, and the other half is deep self-reflection and conscience, which is simply a mixture of contradictions.

"Don't say that. The students in your class all come from well-off families, and I haven't seen anyone better than you. If you really feel bad about it, just treat her as a mascot. I don't think she's going to amount to anything."

This is what they think in their hearts. He Shichen's value lies not only in the He family, but also in the fact that he is a strong man himself.

He Shichen felt better after hearing this and suddenly stopped resisting Chu Qianli.

He Shichen and the others returned to class after their private chat. When they entered the class, they found something strange. The usually quiet corner was crowded with girls, and the strange new classmate who was ignored in the morning was now very popular.

Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing were surrounded by people. Tan Muxing looked uneasy, obviously he had never seen such a lively scene. Chu Qianli looked much calmer, and was surrounded by girls in the center.

The group had just asserted that Chu Qianli would not be able to fit in with the class, but now she is surrounded by girls!

"What the hell? What are they doing?"

"We have a new celebrity in our class. Now you have to queue up to get a number to talk to him."

“…”

He Shichen looked at this scene in shock and doubt, totally unaware of what she was doing.

Chu Qianli casually grabbed some vegetables while eating, but who would have thought that he would become famous overnight!

Ruan Ya really found the hottest place in the school. She met the person she had a crush on near the boiler room. As expected, he confessed his love to her. In the end, after thinking about it, she rejected him politely, saying that she wanted to focus on her studies at the moment.

Although the two did not get any results, the contents of the account were correct, proving that Chu Qianli is indeed capable!

Qiu Qingkong has always been interested in the occult. She has watched many fortune-telling videos online, but none of them are as accurate and efficient as Chu Qianli's. She was incredulous and said, "I've only seen fortune-telling with tarot cards. Can you tell fortunes with poker?"

Chu Qianli: "Yes, poker cards are closely related to the Minor Arcana in Tarot."

Qiu Qingkong curiously probed: "So you use poker instead of tarot. Is it because poker is more accurate?"

Qiu Qingkong discovered that Chu Qianli's poker cards were badly damaged. She speculated that there might be a mystery inside, maybe it was a psychic prop, different from ordinary poker, which is why it has been preserved until now.

Chu Qianli: "No, it has nothing to do with accuracy."

Qiu Qingkong: "Then you chose poker because..." Is this deck of poker magical?

Chu Qianli: "Poker is cheap, only five dollars a deck, it is market-economical, and everyone is fair."

Qiu Qingkong: “?”

Qiu Qingkong: So mysterious squatting also has to be economical?
