Chapter 18 Two: Soon there will be a crescent-5
I don't want to answer that question. "Don't divert the topic, why did you write about the moon later?"
After saying that, I put my hands on my knees and turned my face away from Anqi.
"Hey, you're too inferior, I'm shy like this before I even open my yellow mouth," Angel thoughtfully moved back and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you." β
"Angel, can you be a little more naΓ―ve?" I was speechless.
"Okay, okay, if you're embarrassed, don't say it, I can guess." He chuckled slyly, "Wen Moon, because the moon is our totem." β
"You guys?"
"I'm ......," Angel paused, "my hometown, where we worship the moon more. β
"Oh." I've heard of similar totem worship, so I'm not going to pursue it anymore.
I'm more concerned about another detail: "That friend of yours is also like you, with a skull birthmark?" β
He ...... He was born with it. β
"This is the same pattern?" I was even more confused.
"Well, his skeleton is crooked. He was stimulated before he was born......" Angel seemed to recall the unhappy memory, "his skull was wounded, so the skeleton graphics were also flawed. β
I don't want to ask why two unrelated people have almost the same birthmark β and it doesn't matter to me anyway.
There are many wonders in the world, and there are many people who are not twins but look the same, let alone such an imprint?
"And what does this have to do with the curse?" I asked the last question that bothered me.
"Cursed ......" An Qi sighed lightly, "Kang Rong, do you feel that many things are involuntary?" Don't laugh at me β you must feel the same way. Is that the kind of, how to say, the call of fate? No, no, no...... That's the curse...... You've been abandoned by your identity, and it comes back to you, relying on you, reminding you every day that you're an alien......"
Anqi's abstract statement about "identity" scratched my head, but the word "alien" touched me sharply.
I didn't seem to understand, shrouded in his thick powerlessness and confusion.
He continued: "Yesh and I, that is, my friend, we went to Wen's tattoo together. The moon in our text is in the opposite direction. β
Angel asked me again, "Do you know the symbol of Uranus?" Seeing me shake my head, he grabbed my hand again and drew it in my palm.
The two opposite crescents are connected by a cross shape with a circle below the cross.
"Are you all superstitious not only about the moon, but also about Uranus?" My peers who grew up in a capitalist family are really not from the same world as me.
"Superstition! Kang Rong, can you be a little more disillusioned? Angel complained to me again, "I'm Aquarius β Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius." This moon is not only a symbol of our faith totem, but also our ruling planet, such a meaningful practice is said to be like a retard! β
"Guardian star?" I choked β I grew up in science and I always disdained these heresies.
"Nerd, you don't even know the zodiac signs, do you? What zodiac sign are you? β
I really don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing. I continued to ask him, "That friend of yours is also water, Aquarius?" β
Angel replied, "We used to be very good friends. β
I just somewhat understand what happened to Anqi's melancholy in front of the juvenile detention center. They are good, good, very good friends, I think.
"We all have a chain of locks, the same thing in the middle of the Uranus symbol." Angel drew again, "But I don't wear it anymore." β
"Why don't you wear it?"
"I just don't wear it."
I don't know what to say. Listen to Angel, his friend has known him since childhood.
Not only are they intimate, but they also have a kind of almost mystical connection. Their ruling stars are the same symbol, and each of them is only half the size of their guardian star, and they are only complete if they are connected to each other by a lock......
Vaguely, I was a little envious of the boy who missed and went to prison.
Maybe it was my heartless words in the afternoon that made Angel suddenly brighten, and he was obviously calmer than me at the moment.
He interrupted my thoughts and asked, "Kang Rong, when is your birthday?" β
I reported the date, and Angel laughed again: "Kang Rong, do you know, in the past, my tattoo did have nothing to do with you, but now on-" I met his burning eyes, and he said, "From now on, it is your crescent moon." β
