Chapter 44 - 44 I Can Tell Fortunes

Lan Cai watched Li Xiaoyao’s departing figure, pursed her lips, then gently stamped her foot and muttered under her breath, "Humph, who said I wanted to take you back? Wishful thinking."

After Lan Cai and Lin Yuanyuan left, Li Xiaoyao followed Zhu Xiaoyue to a black BMW sedan, then watched as Zhu Xiaoyue pressed the car key and the BMW blinked twice.

"Wow, a BMW, I had no idea you were such a rich cop, Xiaoyue!" Li Xiaoyao exclaimed as he sized up Zhu Xiaoyue from head to toe.

An ordinary police officer driving a BMW to and from work, even a blind person could guess that this cop’s identity was no ordinary matter.

Zhu Xiaoyue ignored him, pulled open the door, and said, "Get in."

Li Xiaoyao walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and sat down inside.

Zhu Xiaoyue delayed in starting the car, and didn’t even insert the key.

After waiting for two minutes, Li Xiaoyao couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "Say, Officer Zhu, you’re not planning to do something to me in the car, are you? I’m a bit timid, so if you have any improper thoughts about my body, just let me know in advance, and I’ll undress myself."

Li Xiaoyao’s words left Zhu Xiaoyue stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she was both angry and embarrassed, with her cheeks flushing red as she said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who has improper thoughts about you?"

Li Xiaoyao blinked at her and said, "A man and a woman alone in a car, don’t tell me you don’t want to... you know? But I’ll have you know, I’m not that kind of man."

Zhu Xiaoyue retorted angrily, "And I’m not that kind of woman!"

Confused, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Then why aren’t you driving?"

Zhu Xiaoyue’s gaze passed through the car window toward the police station entrance and said, "Waiting for someone. I need to follow him and gather evidence."

Li Xiaoyao immediately understood and said, "You’re waiting for that guy who was bitten by a dog, aren’t you?"

Zhu Xiaoyue turned her head, looking at Li Xiaoyao in surprise, "How did you know?"

Li Xiaoyao gave a smug smile and pinched his fingers together, saying, "I can tell fortunes."

Zhu Xiaoyue gave him a skeptical look, to which Li Xiaoyao asked, "You don’t believe me?"

Zhu Xiaoyue shook her head, skepticism clearly written all over her face.

Li Xiaoyao huffed and said, "It seems I must show some real skills today to impress you."

"Keep on pretending," Zhu Xiaoyue said disdainfully, not believing for a second that Li Xiaoyao could tell fortunes.

Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Whether I’m pretending or not, you’ll know soon enough."

Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes, pretentiously pinching his fingers with his left hand, and slowly said, "You’re wearing a black bra today, pink socks, huh, you got your period, and..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Xiaoyue’s cheeks turned beet red as she glared at Li Xiaoyao in a mix of embarrassment and anger.

She had no idea how Li Xiaoyao could possibly know these personal secrets of hers, the color and style of her underwear, which no one other than herself would know.

Most importantly, her menstrual cycle had only started today, yet this jerk knew about it, too.

Could it be, he really could tell fortunes?

Zhu Xiaoyue had never believed in such things as fortune-telling, but after Li Xiaoyao spoke those words, she suddenly felt like the mysterious art of fortune-telling might actually exist.

Otherwise, she had no way of explaining how Li Xiaoyao knew these intimate details about her.

Of course, Li Xiaoyao knew; though his eyes were closed, he had scanned Zhu Xiaoyue’s entire body with his mind, leaving no part unseen by Li Xiaoyao’s eyes.

"Now do you believe?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhu Xiaoyue with a smile in his eyes.

Zhu Xiaoyue returned his gaze with a complex expression and asked, "Can you really tell fortunes?"

Li Xiaoyao feigned seriousness and said, "It’s not fortune-telling, it’s the art of divination and character-reading."

Zhu Xiaoyue was a little flustered by Li Xiaoyao’s solemn and serious tone, and her respect for him grew as she spoke with reverence, "Then, could you do it for me?"

Zhu Xiaoyue had just personally experienced Li Xiaoyao’s divination skills and did not doubt his accuracy in the slightest.

Li Xiaoyao pretended to be troubled and said, "You do not understand divination, so you don’t know how much it drains my energy, spirit, and vitality. With my current abilities, I can perform it only once a day. The accuracy of one session can reach ninety-nine percent, but if I force a second session, it not only consumes my vitality but may also be less accurate."

Hearing how serious Li Xiaoyao made it sound, Zhu Xiaoyue treated him with even greater respect and said, "Then will you do it for me tomorrow?"

"Well..." Li Xiaoyao did not agree immediately; he suddenly realized that it was quite entertaining to play along with Zhu Xiaoyue.

He had no clue how to do any actual divination. He was just fooling the young lady with his thoughts.

Zhu Xiaoyue thought Li Xiaoyao’s hesitation was due to the issue of compensation and said directly, "I’ll pay you, you won’t have to do it for free."

"It’s not a matter of money," Li Xiaoyao shook his head, then he sighed and said, "Well, if we’re fated, and since you wish for it, I’ll do it. Tell me, what do you want to know about?"

Zhu Xiaoyue blushed and said, "Marriage prospects."

Li Xiaoyao, adopting the manner of a wise sage, said, "Left hand."

Zhu Xiaoyue extended her hand, still puzzled, and said, "Isn’t it the left for males and the right for females?"

Li Xiaoyao scoffed and said, "That’s just a rumor spread by the masses. In divination, there’s no distinction between men and women. The left hand represents your life from birth until now, while the right hand predicts the fortunes that follow today."

Zhu Xiaoyue did not understand any of this and only felt that Li Xiaoyao spoke with profound mystery, appearing very impressive, which made her believe even more in his fortune-telling identity.

Li Xiaoyao held Zhu Xiaoyue’s left hand and kept feeling it.

This chick’s palm was really soft, delicate as if it had no bones, making him wonder how she managed as a police officer, handling a gun every day, yet without a single callus on her hands.

Zhu Xiaoyue felt awkward as Li Xiaoyao touched her, and when he remained silent, she finally couldn’t stand it anymore and said, "Are you done feeling?"

"Not yet... cough, I’m feeling the bones," Li Xiaoyao explained.

But Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him skeptically, "Is feeling the bones necessary for reading palms?"

"How else would I know about your fate without feeling the bones?"

Zhu Xiaoyue fell silent, and Li Xiaoyao also stopped feeling her hand, thinking if he continued, she would probably explode.

"Your marriage prospects, well, they’re coming soon." After a long pause, Li Xiaoyao finally said something so vague it was as good as saying nothing.

"Really? Where is he? Is he tall or short? Fat or thin?"

Li Xiaoyao swayed his head from side to side and said, "Far in the horizon, yet close before your eyes."

"Far in the horizon, yet close before your eyes?" Zhu Xiaoyue repeated, then suddenly it clicked, and she glared at Li Xiaoyao with fury. She pulled out her gun and pointed it at him, "You bastard, you’re tricking me again!"
