Chapter 45 Tarot Divination

  At 10 o'clock in the evening, when the celebration was halfway through, Yu ordered his subordinates to stay on guard, and he and Yang Ge took me home together. Please remember the URL of this station: Guanhua Home Network. Once again sitting in that black Lexus, I finally understood the meaning represented by this logo, MONEY at least forty million. For a child like me born into an ordinary family, I can only gaze up at it with envy and swallow my complaints about the gap between rich and poor.

  Turn on the air conditioner, and the cool breeze in the car slowly disperses the dry heat all over my body. Yang's driving skills are superb, the night scene outside the window quickly reverses and flashes before my eyes, making me dizzy, so I withdraw my gaze and turn to Yu, who is leaning lazily against the back of the chair beside me. He frowns slightly, looking thoughtful, feels my gaze, raises an eyebrow, and wraps his big hand around me, pulling me into his arms. I happily cooperate, snuggling up close like a little wife, not struggling at all.

  "Your drool is about to drip out, if you keep looking at me like that I'll have to start charging." The voice was soft and seemed to express great satisfaction with my humble attitude.

  "You're taking advantage of me! I haven't even charged you yet!" Who's the one who's really getting ripped off here?!

  "No one can haggle with me." He applied slight pressure with his palm, a hint of playfulness in his flat tone.

  ??“……”

  Yang Da Ge suddenly turned his head to look at us, with a thick smile in his eyes, making me feel embarrassed and worried that he was too distracted, driving too fast, what if he wasn't careful... I didn't dare speak up again to argue with Ze Yu. Silently giving him a white eye: Sister, I'm too lazy to bother with you.

  "Stay away from Ji Dong from now on, did you hear me?" He almost gnashed his teeth and said in my ear, the icy tone scared me into a tremble.

  I struggled to get up, sat up straight and puffed out my face, staring at him: "That's not possible, he's my brother!" I turned around and felt that it wasn't quite right, so I changed my mouth and said firmly: "He's my older brother! Blood is thicker than water, how can you say far is far?" My mom had already agreed, but then Chen Yijin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

  He sat up straight, exuding an aura of coldness that could freeze people to death: "What's thicker than water? He has ulterior motives towards you, don't forget you're already mine, you're not allowed to elope with him!"

  I stared blankly at him, was this a vinegar jar that had turned over? And it's a vinegar jar with ice cubes, which can still turn into a burning vinegar jar at any time...

  "What's wrong with you?! I'm not going to talk to you about this!" I don't want to bother with his unreasonable demands!

  At the entrance of Qingquan Community, Yu Fang dropped me off and reminded me with a straight face: Don't forget to report on time at 8 o'clock every night.

  I made a face at the slowly passing sedan, then turned and limped towards the apartment building. Although I'm now strictly forbidden by my mom from having any contact with him, but since I have difficulty walking, it took me half a day's effort to climb the stairs, would he die if he drove up to the floor? He even confessed to me first, yet still acted so arrogantly, if I couldn't help but become his vanguard, wouldn't that mean I'd be putting him on a pedestal?

  And what's with that stinky face? I don't ask for much, between boyfriend and girlfriend, at least leave a goodnight kiss or something... Uh, looks like I'm getting more and more unaware of reserve.

  "I'm back!" I habitually shouted as I entered the door, and Ruoxi immediately poked her head out of the room.

  Her face was filled with unbearable excitement, and she waved at me repeatedly: "Mimi come quickly!" Then she went back in herself.

  I don't know what treasure this girl has gotten her hands on now, she's so excited.

  "Are Mom and Dad not at home?" I took off my shoes and hobbled around, looking everywhere. It would be better if they weren't here, or else they'd scold me again when they see my injured leg. "Cousin, come quickly and help me!"

  Ruoxi continued to dawdle for a while before reappearing in front of me, still holding a rectangular piece of cardboard with a colorful painting on it. I stared at it for half a day, thinking when did Ruoxi also become infatuated with painting?

  "Oh no! What's wrong with you again?" She exaggeratedly pointed at my calf, a large patch of red medicine, the color of fresh blood. The wound was just a small piece, but it was painted like the whole leg was disabled, and it was really hard for him.

  I nonchalantly pouted: "It's nothing, just a minor injury. The main thing is that the person who applied the medicine was too clumsy. Come and help me up." Her tense expression relaxed, she let out a sigh and came over to support me as I walked.

  "It's good that your parents went to the party again, they probably won't be back tonight, you've escaped another disaster!" She struggled to carry me, speaking in gasps, "How can you be like a pig, so heavy!" I dryly laughed twice, my legs almost broke on the stairs just now, and now I'm completely relying on you, how could I not be heavy?

  My dad and mom have been really active lately, it's really convenient for me! However, to be on the safe side, I still need to be more careful, after all, I'm already in a state of being inseparable from Meng Yu, who knows when I'll get hit again, and what awaits me is another endless prison.

  "What's that thing in your hand?" He sat steadily on the bed, his eyes still fixed on the unknown object.

  ?? Creek swung his arm and took a deep breath, the excitement of just now seemed to have disappeared completely. When I heard this, my eyes lit up again, and I ran to the desk in small steps, hugged a light brown wooden box, and also searched for paper scraps of the same type on the edge of the wooden box, and handed it over to me. I took out one, which was like a poker card, with Greek-style paintings on it, mainly warm golden color, making people feel very comfortable.

  "Clang! It's Tarot cards! Lan Xin Jie lent them to me to play with, and she even helped me divine my fortune! I said I wanted to learn, so she lent them to me to get familiar with first, saying we'll wait until next week to teach me! Ah~ I'm getting impatient, time is passing by so slowly!" She looked conflicted, one moment excited, the next moment worried, leaving me stunned.

  "Tarot cards... fortune-telling? What's that all about?" I've only heard of "observing the stars and moon to know the great affairs of the world"... I flipped through the cards in confusion, trying to figure out their secrets. Apart from the colorful paintings and titles like "King", "Queen", "High Priestess" etc., I couldn't find any deeper meaning.

  She smiled triumphantly, clearing her throat and saying: "Tarot card divination, it's a Western method of fortune-telling that can predict your future luck or answer inner doubts, pointing out people's secret fears, inner thoughts, subconscious actions, and desires. Each card represents a character, and when doing the divination, various formations are arranged with these tarot cards, which can be used for oneself or others to divine love, interpersonal relationships, studies, family... everything! How about it? Doesn't it sound great?" Her smooth explanation was like she had rehearsed it beforehand, and after finishing, she became excited again.

  I responded with a sudden "oh" of realization, but she gave me a white eye: "You're so clueless, all you do is read books and don't know anything! Don't even mention that we know each other when we go out!" She waved her hand and immediately put on a look of extreme disgust towards me.

  "Is that so? Can this be accurate?" After pondering for a while, I didn't think much of it anymore, and listening to it seemed like superstition.

  Her face suddenly fell, and she hastened to clear her name: "Of course! Lan Xin sister helped me divine it, and it was accurate!"

  "What's with the fortune-telling?" The words "love" popped into her mind, and apart from that, she shouldn't be interested in anything else.

  "Marriage destiny...... haha!" Her face flushed, not even thinking of hiding it from me, her bright eyes staring at me, making my hair stand on end. Looking at this little wife-like appearance, I really feel like I won't marry anyone else but Ji Dong, and it's making me feel guilty.

  I looked down at my palm and wondered how there could be such complicated emotional lines in this world?

  She blushed and poked my waist with her elbow, a tingling sensation accompanied by her trembling voice stimulating my nerves: "Lan Xin Jie said that although my road to love is bumpy, the ending is beautiful, one day I will achieve my heart's desire! Mimi, look, haven't I already achieved it now? How accurate! I believe it 200%!"

  Looking at her so happy, I felt a suffocating heat in my chest. Yu Xi is now with Ji Dong, but this is just an illusion! How can I tell her the truth? She's already deeply trapped, and if I force her out, it will only make her body and mind shatter... Ah! I mustn't say anything. Living in illusions at least gives her hope; if the dream shatters, she'll become a walking corpse. Even if it's fake, I have to protect her love well.

  "Is Lan Xin's divination predicting something that has already happened? Those bumps?" I asked in as casual a tone as possible, subconsciously wanting to remind her that there might still be bumps ahead, so don't relax too early.

  She was taken aback for a moment, looking bewildered as if she hadn't thought about the issue before. Then, with renewed confidence, she said: "Never mind, I just believe in it! Don't discourage me, okay? Although progress is slow now, there's been improvement!"

  I hastily nodded, not daring to say more: "Yes, yes, yes! I also believe it! Is that all right?!"
