  "Rice, since then, haven't you come back here again?" Yu Xi supported my shoulder and whispered close to me, "I still remember the days I spent with you in the past, it's really nostalgic!"

  I turned around and smiled bitterly at her: "It's quite nostalgic, but some things also make people not want to remember."

  "What is it that you don't want to remember? Are there still things that are being kept from me? Speak quickly!" Yu Xi heard this and came over with renewed energy, lightly pushing me.

  I gave her a glance, walked into the stairwell, stood at the door, and touched the upside-down "Fu" character that was still stuck on it. Mom said this meant "good fortune has arrived". The same character was also posted on the door of Ji Dongjia's house behind me, but good fortune seemed to have taken a detour and slipped away from his home.

  "What else can be said, aren't those just childish things like kids playing house!" Sighing, I've actually forgotten many things already. "Ruoxi, why did you bring me here? Weren't we supposed to go find Lanxin's sister? Are you trying to tell me she lives here now?" I shook my head and stopped thinking about those past events, focusing on the task at hand instead.

  She waved her hand: "Of course not! I just found out that Lan Xin's house is quite close to here, so I'll take you back and take a look... Okay, okay, let's go after we've finished looking! It's necessary to relax your emotions before divination!" She said with a smile, walking away on her own.

  "Divination? For me? Lan Xin sister?" I followed behind, a thread of excited joy floating in my heart, and found that I had indeed been infected by Ruoxi, becoming interested in this as well.

  She saw me catching up, her arm stretched out in front of me, I wrapped my arms around her, she nodded in satisfaction: "That's right! Otherwise, what would I bring you here for? Don't worry about it, sis! I'll take you there! No rush! It's just over there!"

  She raised her hand and pointed towards the direction behind several overlapping houses, looking quite far away, but arrived after a short walk.

  A small and elegant multi-storey building with green bricks and white tiles, simple and soft color tones, looks calm and peaceful.

  After ringing the doorbell a few times, the white wooden gate opened and a beautiful woman in a floral long dress with a smile on her face like a spring breeze greeted us.

  "Eldest Sister Lanxin!" Both I and Ruoxi hastily greeted her, removing our shoes and stepping barefoot onto the wooden floor.

  Simple and comfortable decoration, there is also a staircase leading to the second floor inside the living room. Compared with my own home, this place is slightly more monotonous, but it has another kind of fresh and elegant beauty. What makes me happiest is that I can walk barefoot, and think about how to jump around - of course, just thinking about it, it's not good to be too casual in someone else's home!

  "Rice, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful! I almost couldn't recognize you!" Lan Xin led us into her room with a smile. I happily replied: "Lan Xin is also! It's been a long time, and you're even more lovely and charming!"

  A room on the second floor with a great view, opening the small window, outside is a field of golden sunflowers, under the lush vitality, there is a kind of warmth that touches people's hearts and lungs, making people look forward to tomorrow with beautiful expectations.

  Ruo Xi pulled on Lan Xin's arm, pouting: "Lan Xin! Hurry up and help Mi Mi with the divination! You guys finish up quickly so you can continue teaching me! I'm getting impatient!"

  Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled without showing her teeth: "You!"

  She gently pushed on the forehead of Ruo Xi, then took out that familiar wooden box from the locked bookcase. The last time Ruo Xi brought back home was this Tarot card, at that time it looked like a street vendor's goods, not very attractive to me, but now in Lan Xin's hands it seemed like a family heirloom, looking exceptionally precious, I couldn't help but sigh, this is probably the difference between people!

  "Mei Mei, what do you want to ask about?" Lan Xin Jie asked me with a smile.

  I rubbed my nose, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Love."

  Lan Xin smiled all the time, with a look of having long understood: "Girls all love fortune-telling! Haha!" She paused for a moment and said: "You have to shuffle the cards, I'll teach you first, there are some things that need attention, you must remember, otherwise the fortune-telling may not be accurate!"

  Lan Xin Jie carefully taught me the steps, reminding me of the things I should pay attention to. Then, the three of us set up the scene, pulled up the curtains, and the room darkened. Lan Xin Jie put on a pure black cloak, wore a pointed wizard hat on her head, and even had her hands covered with black gloves... It felt like being in a magical world, and the person standing in front of me was like a flying witch, just missing a broom.

  "Mimi! I forgot to tell you, Lan Xin is a descendant of witches!" Yifeng looked at me for half a day and still couldn't come back to my senses, using her hand to poke my waist and excitedly said.

  Her face wore a bright smile that didn't match her outfit: "Yes, the female witch bloodline in my family is passed down through generations, divination is our strong suit. I inherited my grandmother's lineage, but it's already very weak by my generation. Moreover, with today's rapid advancements in technology, most people have abandoned superstitions about ghosts and gods. So, I'm also reviving an old trade, perhaps not very accurately. Hehe, Mimi, if there are any errors, don't blame me!"

  "No way!" I shook my head desperately, Lan Xin actually had a witch's bloodline, this really got me extremely excited!

  I sat face to face with Lan Xin at a small, rectangular table in the center of the room, covered with a pink tablecloth. To avoid distracting me, Ruoxi sat on the bed behind me. As soon as she picked up the cards, her entire demeanor changed instantly, and she put on a devout and serious expression, then handed the cards to me.

  I went through the divination process in my mind, took over the cards with a solemn sense of mission, concentrated my spirit, drew out a few and placed them on top of the card pile, spread them out on the table to form a circle, then shuffled them clockwise until I stopped and handed them back to her.

  Lan Xin sister started cutting cards and arranging them, every time she took out a card, she would place it in front of her chest with her eyes closed, when she opened her eyes, she would put the card on the table. Those cards seemed to have a spiritual energy in her hands, I was curious and excited, just answered a few "yes" or "no", then saw Lan Xin sister had already selected seven cards from them and arranged a pattern, she smiled and said: This is the Six-pointed Star Array.

  "Rice Rice, from the whole situation, your emotional journey will be more tortuous!" Lan Xin's face had a worried look, her fine eyebrows slightly furrowed as she glanced at me, then opened the cards in the array one by one, looking at my eyes with an unpredictable gaze.

  "Lan Xin? Is something wrong?" Seeing her solemn expression, my heart skipped a beat.

  "No... nothing, but it's a bit strange. It shouldn't be like this here, doesn't make sense..." She pinched her chin, muttering to herself.

  Ruoxi also poked her head out at this time, and in the dark and silent room, a loud "what's wrong" suddenly came out, startling both of them. I patted my chest, and this fright actually relieved the atmosphere, and I laughed and gave her two punches.

  Lan Xin Jie cleared her throat, pointing to the spread-out six-pointed star-shaped card array and began to interpret the card language for me: "You see, this table's future card is the reversed Magician, indicating that on the emotional road due to lack of experience, you may receive deception or failure! The reason is, here, the reversed Queen... hmm, represents unresolved issues or conflicts with family members!"

  I stared at Lan Xin with wide eyes, holding my breath for a moment. Bullseye! Right on target!

  "Lan Xin Jie, are you saying that I will be deceived by someone I like again in the future?" I asked cautiously.

  Her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "This is where I couldn't explain it either. Looking at your previous luck, logically speaking, you should be relatively smooth under the coincidence of fate... Never mind, let me analyze and come up with a response method for you! Hmm ~ The inverted Hanged Man means that emotionally, you've already lost the idea of paying for the other party, while the other party's attitude towards you remains the same. This only makes you want to escape more. You have ignored your own correct judgment deep in your heart, and it's inevitable that you will encounter many failures. My suggestion is to follow your heart, don't escape, no matter what setbacks you encounter, you should give yourself and the other party another chance. Mutual trust is a prerequisite!"

  "Lan Xin Jie, so it seems I still have a lot to go through in the future? Will the outcome be good?"

  "Heaven's secret cannot be revealed!" Lan Xin Jie smiled and winked at me, her expression relaxing, "Whether it's accurate or not is another story, I'm different from before, don't take it to heart, and also, today's divination mustn't be told to others, let's keep it a secret among the three of us!"

  "We guarantee that we will never go out and talk nonsense, oh! Mimi! Okay! Lanxin sister should change me!" Ruoxi hastily kicked me away with one foot and pounced on the table.

  I sat on the edge of the bed, holding my head in thought. Would Yu deceive me? But what do I have that's worth deceiving? Such a handsome and cleanliness-obsessed guy would rather sacrifice his appearance to deceive an ordinary girl like me with no special features? It really doesn't make sense! Too lazy to think about it anymore... Besides, Lan Xin also said it's not necessarily accurate... Why should I add trouble for myself?!
