Chapter 8, The Person Who Accompanies You for a Lifetime
The fortune-telling woman turned her gaze to Li Xiaoya, her heart stirred, and she bowed, saying: "Then please allow me to tell the fortune of this beautiful young lady." Han Shu pointed at the scattered fragments on the ground and said: "It's all broken!"
The woman looked at Li Xiaoya in astonishment, realizing in her heart, so this is how it is!
The woman, however, ignored him and walked away. After taking a few steps, she turned back and said: "You will marry this young lady, have a child, and you will accompany her for a lifetime"
Han Shu said: "Isn't this nonsense? My husband is here, marriage is beckoning, how can the children be far away? If this continues, I won't pay!"
Li Xiaoya and the woman were astonished. What serious question could this guy possibly have? They were very curious!
The two women were astonished, what on earth is this guy thinking? The fortune-teller's hands and feet trembled, her gaze was icy, clearly indicating her considerable anger
The woman looked at Li Xiaoya with affection and said, "We will meet again!"
Li Xiaoya was so happy that she could not contain herself, her face flushed red
Han Shu protests: "It's just more nonsense!"
"How could that be? I will never bother you for a lifetime!" Han Shu said firmly
The fortune-telling woman held the transparent crystal ball in front of Li Xiaoya and said, "Then please place your hand on it as well!"
Han Shu happily turned around and said to Li Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, come and restrain her quickly, I will get you a makeup bag."
Han Shu secretly scolded: You can say whatever you want, but why emphasize the word "bitch"? Truly a woman who does not understand aesthetics! I wish you to keep your status as a woman treasured for a lifetime
At first, the crystal ball showed no change. The fortune-telling woman gazed intently at the crystal ball, while Li Xiaoya watched it nervously. Gradually, streams of light began to flow within the crystal ball, moving faster and faster, until finally, it dimmed once more
Li Xiaoya nodded and said, "Then where can we find you in the future? We can be friends!"
But I heard the fortune-telling woman softly say: "No, I will understand in the future." What is this? Is this the rhythm of a close friend? So you came here to flirt!
Han was surprised: "In this day and age, there are still people who keep their dowries with them!"
The woman took a step back and chuckled lightly, saying, "If you touch it, you have to take it home."
As Han pondered the words of the fortune-telling woman from earlier, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss
Han Shu was about to erupt when the fortune-telling woman shook her head and said: "It has nothing to do with him. This is fate! It is destined that I would have such a day." As she spoke, she looked at Han Shu with intense eyes
Li Xiaoya stepped on Han Shu's foot and apologized, saying, "I’m sorry, he is just such an unserious person, but at heart, he is a good person. Please do not take offense." Han Shu, who was crying out in pain from the foot injury, felt quite frustrated upon hearing his girlfriend unexpectedly label him as a good person.
After the woman finished speaking, she walked into the bustling crowd and disappeared
Han Shuo laughed and said: "No charge! Why didn't you say so earlier? Don't you still have the crystal ball? Give me another reading!"
"Hey, don't sleep on the street, it will disturb others." Han Shu was thinking about how to drive this light bulb away so he could have some intimate moments with his future wife.
The fortune-telling woman smiled at the corners of her eyes, and with a nod, she said to Li Xiaoya: "Miss, born into a family of power and privilege, you will have a life filled with happiness. You will enjoy a blissful marriage and have lovely children. Even in the final moments of your life, the ones you love will be by your side to protect you." After saying this, she bowed, put away the crystal ball, and prepared to leave
Over there, Li Xiaoya said nervously: "No, no, Han Shu, please don't cause trouble!" How can one rob a pocket and give it to a woman! THG is a monogamous system, alright!
Li Xiaoya excitedly pulled Han Shu to sit on a chair and said, "Ah, spending a lifetime with the person you love is truly a wonderful thought!" After saying this, she stood up in frustration and said, "I forgot, I should ask her if you can smoothly join the Marine Corps?"
Just as Han Shu placed his hand on the crystal ball, the transparent crystal ball emitted a flash of red light, and then... unexpectedly shattered with a "crack," scattering fragments that glimmered with specks of red light across the ground
Li Xiaoya exclaimed, "Han Shu, I am angry!" Han Shu, feeling wronged, obediently hid behind Li Xiaoya. Li Xiaoya then expressed her apologies again, saying, "I am truly sorry."
Li Xiaoya, with an apologetic expression, said with great embarrassment: "I am sorry, he went too far. I apologize for the incident of breaking your crystal ball. We will compensate you. I am truly sorry!"
In the crowd, the fortune-telling woman lifted her veil, revealing a young and beautiful woman. Those passing by were all astonished. As she removed the veil, her long black hair cascaded down to her shoulders. The woman gazed at her intimate lover, a smile playing on her lips, before turning and disappearing into the bustling street
Han was dumbfounded, what is this? Could it be a case of staged accident?
Hmm! Li Xiaoya responded, leaning against Han Shu's shoulder, smiling sweetly
Han Shu felt quite embarrassed being looked at by such a woman: "Hey, hey, don't look at your boyfriend so ambiguously in front of a woman, it's very impolite!"
The woman chuckled and said, "I do not charge any fees; the cost of fortune-telling is my contribution, and my contribution will ultimately be repaid by you."
Li Xiaoya was taken aback, shyly lowering her head, and said: "I always act like this, I hope I don't annoy you"
"Hello, is this a substandard product? You must be a swindler! Can I sue you for defrauding consumers?" Han Shu had a knowing expression on his face as he pointed at the fragments.
The woman ignored him and took out a crystal ball from her bag. Han Shu and the other person were astonished; the bag was only the size of a basketball! Han Shu stepped forward, wanting to touch that pocket: "Is this something like the gadgets from Doraemon?"
Han Shu looked at his confused girlfriend in silence, stood up, pressed her shoulders down to push her back into the chair, and gazed into her eyes: "The one who will accompany you for the rest of your life is me! So..."
The woman took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing! I never stoop to the level of a scoundrel."
Suddenly, the serious Han Shu smiled playfully and said: "If a woman took your bag, would you marry her?"
Han Shu despises, did not say anything! I have no desire to see you!
The fortune-telling woman explained: "This bag is inseparable from me; wherever the bag is, there I am! Therefore, to obtain a pocket, one must pay the equivalent of a person's lifetime sustenance!"
Han nodded slightly and said to Li Xiaoya in a serious tone: "Alright! May I ask a very serious question now?"
Finally entering the main theme of fortune-telling, Li Xiaoya felt somewhat nervous, unsure whether it was the anxiety about the predicted future or the fear of shattering the crystal ball. In any case, she carefully placed her hand on the crystal ball
The fortune-telling woman also wore a look of astonishment, first gazing at Han Shu, then at the fragments, and closing her eyes to contemplate.
The woman sighed and said solemnly, "Happiness is always so fleeting; you must cherish it well!"
Han impatiently said: "Hey, is there anything quick to blow? We are very busy!"
