Chapter 149: Yes, this is very old-fashioned
"At that time, I really thought that the constellations were accurate, and I believed in them."
Li Zhimeng sighed, "Playing the game lottery, I'm going to see how Capricorn's fortune is today, and pick a good time to draw; If you want to do something, before you do it, I also want to see if Capricorn is good at doing it, and if it doesn't suit, I won't do it. β
"The book says that Capricorns are not good at expressing themselves, so I rarely express my thoughts to the people around me; The book also says that Capricorn can't stand being criticized the most, so if someone says me, I will refute it loudly...... My friends didn't understand why I was like this, so I told them as a matter of course because I was a Capricorn and I was meant to be that. β
"My academic performance has been declining, but I won't be anxious anymore, and I won't study seriously anymore, because I'm a Capricorn, and Capricorn is just not good at studying, what can I do."
Li Zhimeng seemed to really feel that time was very embarrassing, and kept covering his face with his hands when he said these words: "In this way, I take it for granted and feel at ease not to study, not to express with peace of mind, and not to accept criticism with peace of mind." β
"After a while, my original friends started to stay away from me, and I didn't care, because the horoscope book says that Capricorn is to endure loneliness ......"
Wang Ge felt funny when he heard it, and asked, "Then when did you find out that the constellations are actually unreliable?" β
ββ¦β¦ Peach Blossom Luck. β
"Huh?" Wang Ge almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"Peach Blossom Luck!" Li Zhimeng repeated, his face full of helplessness, "The horoscope book says that Capricorn's peach blossom luck is in mid-May, and I am very likely to meet a partner worthy of being with me for a lifetime in mid-May." β
ββ¦β¦ You don't really believe it, do you? β
"Yes, I do." Li Zhimeng covered his face in pain, "I happened to start believing in the constellation in April, so after seeing the peach blossom luck, I have been looking forward to what kind of person I will meet in mid-May......"
"And then? Who did you meet? β
"Words and words."
"Huh? Who? β
Wang Ge was shocked.
Why does this have anything to do with Chen Yanxi again!?
"I remember that it was the weekend, and I was looking forward to my peach blossom luck, so I thought about going around," Li Zhimeng said with a melancholy face, "and then I remembered that my sister opened a cat cafΓ© in Changchuan, so I thought about helping out and seeing if I could meet my Prince Charming by the way." β
"Wait, the owner of that cat cafΓ© is Sister Ling?"
"That's right." Li Zhimeng looked at Wang Ge suspiciously, "Didn't I tell you?" β
"No...... But it doesn't matter, you continue. Wang Ge said.
"Then, I met Yanyanzi in the cat cafΓ©." Li Zhimeng said, "She wore a pair of old-fashioned glasses, ordered a cup of cheapest coffee, and sat there teasing the cat. β
"That was the first time I saw her."
Li Zhimeng seemed to remember something, and winked at Wang Ge a little mischievously.
Then, in an affectionate tone, he said, "That year, I was a waitress, she was a customer, I was a freshman in high school, she was in her third year of junior high school, and we met by chance......"
"Stop, stop! You dog thief, don't talk like you really have something! β
Wang Ge couldn't help but interrupt, looking at Li Zhimeng's eyes full of jealousy.
This guy actually knew Hei Xi earlier than he did! Damn!
Nozomi in junior high school...... What will it look like? Very cute for sure!
"Haha."
After a while, Li Zhimeng was very happy, smiled, and continued: "I remember when I asked her why she didn't go home, she said that her parents had a quarrel and didn't want to go back. β
"I feel that she is different from ordinary little girls, she knows a lot, and she seems to be very mature, not like a junior high school student, so I keep chatting with her."
"She has a good temper and doesn't bother me, so we keep talking."
"Then, I couldn't help it, so I shared with her some things about my horoscope, I told her that the horoscope is really accurate, I shared with her that Capricorn is not good at learning, not good at expression, does not like to be criticized or anything, and I was very proud to ask her what zodiac sign."
"She said she was a Scorpio, and I was happy to tell her that Scorpio and Capricorn are very compatible and that she and I will definitely become very good friends."
"But ......," Li Zhimeng scratched his hair and sighed, "When I said this, I saw Yan Yanzi's eyes. β
"Even though she wore those big, old-fashioned glasses, I saw pity in her eyes."
Li Zhimeng's eyes flashed with a look of remembrance.
That day, Chen Yanxi, who was still in the third year of junior high school, said to her in a calm tone and extremely cruelly: "You don't really believe in the constellations, you are just running away, and you just regard the constellations as your short-term spiritual sustenance." β
"The reason why you think that the horoscope is accurate is not because the Capricorn personality traits in the horoscope book are exactly the same as your real personality, but because you are deliberately pandering, and you are deliberately making your personality closer to the Capricorn personality traits."
"You want to escape the harsh reality by hiding in the label created by the 'Capricorn'."
"However, even if a Capricorn is not good at studying, it is not a reason for you not to study in peace."
Chen Yanxi looked at her calmly: "Don't be stupid anymore, the constellation is not a straw that can save your life, nor is it an excuse to make you feel depressed, it is a shackle that binds your true character, and a guillotine that obliterates your countless possibilities." β
At the end of the memory, Li Zhimeng shook his head and sighed again: "What Yan Yanzi said was a little too profound for me at that time, I didn't understand it, but it just felt very reasonable." β
"I remember being like a cat with its tail stepped on, I was very angry and wanted to quarrel with her, but she ignored me when she saw that I was angry."
"Then I apologized to her, I thought she was so good and wanted to be friends with her, but she told me that intimacy is a shackle that is more terrible than a horoscope, and she doesn't want to have intimacy with anyone."
Don't want to be intimate with anyone...... The corners of Wang Ge's mouth turned up slightly.
Yes, that's very clichΓ©.
"Then, after I went back, I thought about what Yan Yanzi said to me, and for the first time I had doubts about the constellation."
Li Zhimeng shook his little head, "At that time, my grades dropped quite a lot, and my brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts in the courtyard thought that I was like this because of my sister's death, and they were all worried about me. β
"I don't want them to worry about me anymore, and I'm right, Capricorn is not good at learning, and that's not a reason for me not to study with peace of mind."
