Chapter 86 – 86 Come, I’ll Help You See!
86 Come, I’ll Help You See!
They did not stop until they could no longer see the city gate. Only then did the donkey cart slow down.
After realizing that no one was following them, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. The atmosphere lightened up.
They began to chat casually.
Along the way, Zheng Yongyan’s gaze landed on Zhou Xiaoli from time to time. He had something to say, but he didn’t say it, making Zhou Xiaoli’s hair stand on end.
Finally, Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “I say, if you have something to say, can you just say it? You’re a man, why are you so shy like a girl?”
Zheng Yongyan, who was originally arrogant and unwilling to ask, immediately exploded when he was said to be shy. “When have I been shy? I… I just haven’t thought of what to say.”
Zhou Xiaoli shrugged. “Alright, have you thought about what you wanted to say then?”
Zheng Yongyan said proudly, “Of course.”
“Alright, then tell me.” Zhou Xiaoli pretended to be all ears and stared at the other party calmly.
Zheng Yongyan coughed unnaturally and finally asked, “Um, do you really know how to read fortunes? Did you really read the fortunes of those in the county?”
“Sigh, that’s all you’re asking? I was wondering what it was. Why did you take so long to think about it?” Zhou Xiaoli was greatly disappointed. She thought that Zheng Yongyan was going to ask something.
Zheng Yongyan’s expression became even more unnatural, but he repeated his question. “Is it true or not?”
Zhou Xiaoli shrugged. “Of course. Didn’t you see it with your own eyes?”
“Oh.” Zheng Yongyan’s pupils unconsciously dilated, but he pretended not to care and said, “You seem quite powerful then.”
Zhou Xiaoli snorted and said arrogantly, “That’s true. Don’t you know who I am?”
The corners of Zheng Yongyan’s mouth twitched as he said with disdain, “You’re really thick-skinned. You’re not humble at all.”
Zhou Xiaoli said confidently, “It’s a fact that I’m powerful. How would that make me thick-skinned?”
Zheng Yongyan snorted and continued, “That might not be the case. Are you really that powerful? Other than knowing how to do divination, do you know how to read palms?”
Zhou Xiaoli shrugged and did not comment.
Zheng Yongyan was obviously interested. “Then take a look for me. Let me say this first. It is not that I want you to read my palm, I just want to see if you’re really capable.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. “It’s the left hand, right? I know that. Men on the left and women on the right!”
It was not a big deal to have a simple look at his palm. Zhou Xiaoli could play with him and kill the boredom on the road.
However, Zhou Xiaoli smiled when she heard this. She casually explained, “When doing palm reading, the left is ‘Predisposition’ while the right is ‘Nurture’.”
“The influence of the right hand is higher, and the influence of the left hand is smaller. Therefore, when reading the palm, we mainly use the right hand to judge. Then, we add points and deduct points based on the left hand. Therefore, it’s not a simple left and right hand kind of approach.”
Zheng Yongyan’s eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Xiaoli’s reasoning. “Is that so?”
He didn’t even notice that his voice had changed. “What else? The so-called life line, career line, marriage line, are they real?”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded and tapped his palm. Just as she was about to speak, she said, “This is the marriage…”
However, before she could finish speaking,
Wei Chiyu, who was in the front row, suddenly braked. The donkey cart came to a sudden stop, interrupting their palm reading session.
After stabilizing himself, the studious Zheng Yongyan was very dissatisfied that his discussion was interrupted. “Wei Chiyu, what’s wrong with you this time?” he questioned with a dark expression on his face.
“There’s a pit.” Wei Chiyu’s voice rang out faintly.
With that, he drove the donkey cart slowly again.
For some reason, Zhou Xiaoli felt that Wei Chiyu was not very happy.
She leaned over and asked, “Wei Chiyu, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Wei Chiyu shook his head.
Zhou Xiaoli was still a little worried. “Really? If you’re not feeling well, tell me. Don’t force yourself.”
Wei Chiyu nodded. “I’m fine.”
“Alright.” At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Wei Chiyu, the donkey cart stopped at the transit station just now. How much did you spend?”
Wei Chiyu glanced at Zhou Xiaoli and said seriously, “The transit station’s parking fee is based on time. It’s one copper coin an hour. We’ve been there for more than an hour, so I gave them two copper coins.”
“Oh.” Zhou Xiaoli nodded. She took out two copper coins from her pocket and handed them to him. “Here you go.”
Wei Chiyu was a little confused. “What?”
Zhou Xiaoli said, “Reimbursement for the parking fee of course.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Wei Chiyu’s expression changed. He frowned and asked, “Do you treat me as an outsider?”
“Ah?” Zhou Xiaoli was a little confused. “No, what does this have to do with outsiders or insiders?”
Wei Chiyu’s expression was still ugly. He pursed his lips. “Then why are you giving me money? Do you think I’m a coachman?”
Zhou Xiaoli was speechless. “…What are you talking about? I didn’t treat you as a coachman. Of course, I treated you as a good friend.”
Good lord, why did he throw a tantrum when she gave him money? She was unwilling to give it to him in the first place.
When Wei Chiyu heard Zhou Xiaoli’s explanation, for some reason, his mood became worse.
Zhou Xiaoli felt helpless as she looked at Wei Chiyu’s sullen face.
It was rare to see Wei Chiyu act like a child at his age, so she tried to be more patient.
“Alright, alright. I was wrong. I won’t give you money, alright?” She coaxed him.
As she spoke, she put the money away.
Wei Chiyu: “Yes.”
Yes?
What did that mean?
Zhou Xiaoli tilted her head and looked over, only to see that Wei Chiyu’s handsome face was still sullen. No one knew what he was thinking.
“Why don’t you let me drive the cart? I haven’t driven for a long time, and I’m dying to do it again,” Zhou Xiaoli probed.
“Okay.”
Wei Chiyu responded and stopped the donkey cart, making room for Zhou Xiaoli.
Zhou Xiaoli: “…”
Good lord, so he was unhappy having to drive the entire time. No wonder he said that he was not a coachman.
Zhou Xiaoli felt that Wei Chiyu, who was acting childish and throwing a tantrum, was quite interesting.
She immediately sat in his original seat. “Come, let me be your driver! Sit tight.”
The two of them did not understand what a driver was, but it was obvious that their focus was not on that.
Zheng Yongyan, who had just learned half of it, had a reluctant expression on his face. “Sigh, no, Zhou Xiaoli, you were halfway through your lecture just now. Why are you driving the cart now? You can’t give up halfway. You have to finish it, right?”
Wei Chiyu was already sitting on the other side of the donkey cart. Hearing this, he got on the back of the donkey cart and said calmly, “Let me see for you.”
Zheng Yongyan looked resistant. “Huh? No, why did you let her drive for no reason?”
Wei Chiyu said confidently, “I’m tired.”
“Didn’t you want to read your palm? Come, give me your hand.”
Wei Chiyu was very domineering. As he spoke, he wanted Zheng Yongyan to extend his hand.
Zheng Yongyan, on the other hand, was very resistant. His face was filled with distrust. “Do you know how to do it?”
Wei Chiyu snorted confidently. “I’m Little Li’s junior in the sect. What do you think?”
Zheng Yongyan’s face was still filled with resistance. “Zhou Xiaoli, is he really your junior in the sect?” he asked, again with a face full of distrust.
Zhou Xiaoli blinked. “Ah, that’s true.”
