Chapter 1 Astrological Assistant
The autumn afternoon sun penetrated obliquely through the pale green curtains, and a flamboyant and arrogant young man's voice sounded in the room: "Although Zhang Yao is the first beauty in our school, she took the initiative to ask me, but I am also a famous astrologer, and I can't lose my identity, so I said at that time that I can only make an appointment with this coffee shop next to our community, and I am not used to other places!"
"Oh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" a feeble response that was visibly absent-minded.
"She didn't say a word, she agreed to come down, for fear that I would regret not giving her an astrology! So, beauty is like that, no matter how arrogant she is, no matter how arrogant she is, no matter how she eats the fireworks of the world, once she asks for it, she won't fall into the world immediately?"
"Oh. β
"But we can't snub people, let alone let people find faults, we must pay attention to the image after a while, we must be subtle, gentlemanly, atmospheric, with straight shoulders and waist, and do not squint. If you have nothing to do, just sit honestly, don't talk nonsense, tell you to open your mouth, and you will speak again. β
"Oh. β
β...... Hey, is it okay to say something to someone?" The flamboyant young man was obviously very frustrated, and added a little anger to his words, "I know oh oh, what's the difference between me and a stupid goose? If I don't have an assistant for the time being, I wouldn't be too lazy to take you there! Remember for me, your identity is the assistant of this astrologer, not my cousin, don't accidentally say it!"
"Oh,...... Got it, so I'm going to make up a pseudonym?" The thin voice finally raised a little, expressing his doubts.
"No need! Who cares what your name is? Besides, she doesn't know you, and she doesn't know what the relationship between the two of us is, so you still call Su Yu. Come on, let's see how I'm dressed, handsome, cool?...... Hey, don't be your broken paper, okay? I'm angry, believe it or not, I tore it?...... Come here, you get new clothes, too. ...... You said that you don't have any decent clothes when you're such an adult, so let's change mine first, that's it. β
There was another sound of rustling in the room, and after a while, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was pushed to the mirror of the wardrobe, about 1.75 meters tall, with bright and warm eyes, a high and straight nose, a pair of jeans, a white shirt, and a simple outfit in the mirror to outline a young man with red lips and white teeth. It's just that the young man seemed to be very uncomfortable with this new dress, stretched out his arm in the mirror, pulled his collar again, and asked sideways, "Is it okay to wear it like this?"
Behind him, a young man's face leaned out, also sixteen or seventeen years old, with oily hair, pointed chin, a few pimples on his forehead, and a face that was seven parts arrogant and three parts ruffian. He held his chin in his hand and looked at the mirror, spending more than half of his time looking at himself. Compared with the two, he seemed to think that the cousin who had changed into new clothes was a bit eye-catching, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Change it down, change it down, you still don't fit it if you wear mine, wear your own." β
Su Yu also felt more comfortable wearing old clothes, quickly changed and sat back in front of the desk, and spread out the math paper that he had written half before, but as soon as he picked up the pen, he was unexpectedly snatched away by his cousin Zhu Yuzhe: "You said that you are going to see a beautiful woman, are you still in the mood to do the problem? Hurry up, don't ink!"
"Do I have to go?" Su Yu scratched his head, and asked as he stood up: "Auntie asked us to look after the house, what if there is no one at home when I come back, what if I lose my temper?"
"Let's get down to business, what can my mother say? Besides, there will be no thieves at home in broad daylight, so what's there to be afraid of?...... Come on, I'll stand up to something if something happens, don't always look like you're dead, it's a shame for me to go!"
Zhu Yuzhe said, as if he had thought of something again, he turned around and took out a black-skinned notebook from the bookshelf, and stuffed it into Su Yu's hand: "Take this, assistants must have work notes, and write something down from time to time, although you don't understand anything, as the assistant of this master, you have to make a show." β
Su Yu took the book a little reluctantly, opened it casually, and drew a boy in a straw hat with a ballpoint pen on the title page, making a horse step and punching, a long arm almost sticking out of the paper, and the poorly painted characters were twisted, barely recognizable as Luffy's shape in "One Piece". A few more pages in, the handwriting is crooked like a spider crawling, and they are all half-class notes that have been taken casually and unintentionally.
Su Yu opened his mouth, and stopped talking, thinking that the assistant was a fake, and this book was even more fake, it was okay if people didn't pay attention, and if he paid attention to it, his original form would be revealed, but he was accompanying his cousin to fill the faΓ§ade anyway, and he could do whatever he wanted.
Zhu Yuzhe looked at his bitter face, and then looked at the book that was high-end on the outside and full of ruins on the inside, and he didn't feel embarrassed, he thought about it with his chin in his hand, and then leaned over and took out a small box from the bottom of the bookcase, opened the box and took out another thick notebook. Zhu Yuzhe threw the notebook into Su Yu's arms: "Take this." After a pause, he told as if he was not worried: "This is a baby, be careful not to break it, and don't let my mother see it." β
Su Yu said "um", thinking to himself what is so mysterious? Bowing his head and opening it, a handmade beautiful pen words came into view, very pleasing to the eye, and there were a lot of English words and astrological symbols between the lines, and then a few pages, you can also see the hand-drawn square star map, every symbol and every number are extremely fine, as if it is a real astrological notebook, and it is from the hands of extremely diligent and serious astrologers.
This is naturally not Zhu Yuzhe's note. Su Yu understands that his cousin has never been a reading material, and his aunt spent a lot of money to read him interest classes, but he has no talent for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his academic performance has been hovering in the middle. I don't know where he got his interest, two years ago he suddenly started to make astrology, and his aunt may think that her son will not succeed. There is no hope for a famous university, so he simply let him develop his interests, and he unexpectedly supported this hobby, and he enrolled in online training classes, and bought books for him to study on his own, but he didn't take classes well, and the books were not easy to read, dozens of astrology books only read dozens of pages in total, but it was cheap for Su Yu, he read through these books without telling his aunt and cousin, and before he knew it, he already had a certain degree of astrology.
Where did this lazy guy get such precious notes? Looking at the degree of wear and tear of the notebook, it is more than ten years old, and maybe it was a senior who gave him his treasure.
Two months ago, my aunt took Zhu Yuzhe to BJ to BJ in Zhu Yuzhe's words to "ask for immortals", and after coming back, this cousin who did not learn and did not know how to become a "fairy", somehow got a column invitation from a famous media website, and there were countless followers for a while, and he became a popular astrology rookie on the Internet in just two months. Now that I think about it, this notebook may be from a certain "master" of BJ, right?
Su Yu couldn't figure out the depth of his cousin for a while. Zhu Yuzhe saw his surprised and puzzled look, and waved his hand complacently: "Don't look at it, you can't understand it, it's all profound things." The book is put away, let's go. ...... Oh yes, and there's a bit of high-end stuff for you to see. β
As he spoke, Zhu Yuzhe opened the drawer of the bookcase, rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous items for a long time, took out a delicate small glass bottle, held it high and shook it twice at Su Yu: "Men's perfume, French goods!
Can't understand what is there to show off? Su Yu felt inexplicable. Zhu Yuzhe took the perfume and sprayed it on himself, and then turned his hand at Su Yu. Su Yu instinctively wanted to hide, but his cousin grabbed his arm, and then he felt a pungent incense mist coming to his face, making his nose itch for a while, and he almost couldn't help but sneeze out. Zhu Yuzhe raised his chin and asked, "How is it? Is it fragrant? High-end goods feel good, right?"
Su Yu sprayed perfume for the first time in his life, where did he know what high-end and low-grade France and the United States were, so he had to nod his head in agreement with the wooden man.
"That's good, get ready to go!" Zhu Yuzhe shouted in his mouth to set off, but he was still standing in front of the mirror and looking left and right, as if he was afraid that his image would have any flaws, raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, snapped his fingers, and made a few exaggerated and handsome movements, only then did he pat Su Yu on the shoulder and shouted: "Walk!"
The two of them went downstairs one after the other, Zhu Yuzhe walked in front with his arm flicked, and still asked a little uneasily: "Have you remembered all the things I told?" This is the first time that the big beauty in our school has asked me to talk about astrolabe, don't make a fool of me." β
"Hmm. β
"Also, you need to know a little bit about astrology. If someone asks you and you can't answer a word, where will I put my face? Do you know the four elements?"
"Know, fire and earth feng shui. β
β...... Do you know the moon signs?"
"It is the zodiac sign where the moon is located when a person is born. β
"Well, which star symbolizes love?"
"Venus. β
β...... It's okay, you still know a little bit about the most basic things, so let's have a difficult one, what is the constellation of One Piece Luffy?"
β......β
"Taurus! Foodie, hahahahahaha!"
Zhu Yuzhe laughed loudly and ran downstairs. Su Yu stood on the stairs and was stunned for a moment, thinking that foodies are not necessarily Taurus, it is this kind of arbitrary judgment that causes people to sneer at constellations. Of course, he really didn't know what kind of constellation Luffy was. From afar, I heard my cousin shouting, "Hurry up, I'm late, I don't have anything to eat today!", he hurriedly replied, "Come on", and hurriedly chased downstairs with his notebook.
Half an hour later, in the Western-style coffee shop opposite the No. 1 Middle School in the city, two pairs of boys and girls sat opposite each other in the corner.
Opposite Zhu Yuzhe is the girl named Zhang Yao, who is slender and slender, with black hair hanging low like willow silk, a face that is as delicate as a fine jade, a pair of eyes that are clear and bright, and there is no trace of impurities. Probably because people have a certain admiration for experts and celebrities, teenage girls like fashion topics such as constellations, and they will always be unable to suppress their curiosity when they learn that there is a professional master-level young talent among their classmates, who can not only answer constellation questions but also speculate on their future fate.
Opposite Su Yu was a fat girl named Wu Xuanxuan, who ordered a large cup of cappuccino iced coffee, a piece of cheesecake and a plate of strawberry muffins, and while eating with relish, she craned her neck to watch Zhu Yuzhe explain the astrolabe to Zhang Yao.
The astrolabe was printed by Zhang Yao in advance, and the sixteen-carat printing paper was spread on a coffee-colored tablecloth, on which were concentric circles outlined with black lines, and the periphery was covered with jagged scales, and all kinds of constellations and star symbols were dotted with criss-cross lines, marking the angles between the planets. The whole picture depicts the position of the zodiac of the planets at the time of a person's birth, as well as the relative position of the planets to the person who was born. In the hands of astrologers, this is another form of language that tells people what kind of person the astrological chart owner is and what kind of life he will have.
But Zhu Yuzhe's skills are really not smart enough. Maybe he was too nervous in front of a beautiful girl, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he stumbled, went around and around without saying anything practical, and only circled around on the basic concepts. He seems to be doing astrology science, from the meaning of the sun, moon and five stars to the symbol of the three kings, from the zodiac signs to the twelve signs of personnel, but even as a teacher, he is not qualified, every concept is plausible, and people seem to understand it as if they are falling into the clouds. Su Yu guessed that probably he usually told people about astrolabe online and offline, and it was like this, and the little girl who didn't know astrology at all would think that he was really knowledgeable, and those who knew a little bit would know that he would only talk about things.
Zhang Yao has been very quiet, and I don't know if she is listening. She stroked the coffee cup with one hand, lowered her head slightly and stirred it slowly, silently and without saying a word. On the contrary, Wu Xuanxuan listened to it with interest, and would ask curious questions from time to time, such as: "Wait! I have a question." You say that the first house represents oneself and Venus represents love, so what does Venus in the first house represent?"
Teacher Zhu Yuzhe must not like students who like to ask questions. He has never read a few astrology books, and since he became famous, he has always given people answers on the Internet, usually taking a few books and spreading them next to the computer, answering customers' questions while checking the books. Now there is no book to check, and I can't remember how to explain this, so I have to harden my head and say slowly: "The first house is yourself, Venus symbolizes love, and Venus falls in the first house, which means ...... Love yourself. β
This is a platter of words that can only be interpreted at the kindergarten level. Zhang Yao's hand stirring the coffee stopped imperceptibly, Wu Xuanxuan was also stunned, and then nodded vigorously in a sudden realization, grabbed a muffin and stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "So that's the case!"
Su Yu felt that there was a bit of ridicule in the fat girl's words, and eating muffins felt like he had to take something to gag his mouth, so he had to pretend that he hadn't heard anything, buried his head low, and read the astrological notes that were originally unknown. According to Zhu Yuzhe's previous instructions, he also had to hold a ballpoint pen and dangle it around, making a gesture of recording it carefully. However, Master Zhu gradually got better under Wu Xuanxuan's encouragement, and when his mouth was foaming, he had already forgotten about him. As for the two girls, he never existed from beginning to end.
It's a pity that the forgetting is only temporary, just when Su Yu was holding coffee, flipping through his notes, and fluttering outside, a big hand slapped him on the shoulder, startling him a spirit, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Yuzhe getting up and leaving his seat, and told him seriously: "I'll go to the bathroom, Xiao Su, you accompany the two beauties first and answer their questions for me." β
Question? What is the problem? Su Yu read his notes so oblivious that he didn't hear a word. Needless to say, Zhu Yuzhe must have been forced by the girl's problem, so he had to use the trick of urinating and escape, running to the bathroom to check the information with his mobile phone, leaving him, the "assistant", here to block the gun. It is normal for the assistant to not be able to answer the question, and if he is lucky enough to answer it, it also makes the astrologer himself more knowledgeable and profound.
Su Yu turned his head blankly, but saw the fat girl opposite looking at him fixedly, and her eyes were clearly saying, "Hey, there is a living person here!" He had to put away his notes, rubbed his eyes, and asked one by one, "What's the problem?"
