The Greatest Astrologist

Chapter 060 - So he was the only pacifist here. (3)

“Oh? What are their commonalities?”

“There is astrology background behind tarot cards. For example, the Devil card corresponds with Saturn and also represents Capricornus in astrology……” Chu Qianli added, “Beyond the obvious, they have deeper similarities as well, i.e., the common human experience.”

Chu Qianli picked up the tarot cards from her desk and lined up the 22 major Arcana cards in order, going from the fool to the world, and explained, “If you look at them this way, they form into a life journey and into the cycle of lives.”

Tan Muxing looked at the Major Arcana cards that were lined up and asked in surprise, “This is a cycle?”

“You right. I should have placed them this way.” Chu Qianli rearranged the tarot cards and put card 0, the fool, next to card 21, the world, forming a complete circle with the cards.

Starting from the fool, representing new beginning, innocence, and adventure to world, representing completion, travel, and fulfillment, then back to the fool. Together they represent the circles of life.

“The 12 zodiac signs also tell a story of growth, starting with Aries as the beginning to the spirituality of Pisces. We are all transformed by our experiences, as such, the order and the process are also very important,” said Chu Qianli with a smile. “Other branches of numerology are similar in this way as well. All of them are about the development of shared human commonalities.”

Tan Muxing didn’t really get all of it. “Oh, I see……”

“Hey, Big White Chubby, do you understand what she was saying?” Came an abrupt voice.

Wang Zheng walked past their desk, overheard their conversation and mocked, “Why are you always kissing up to her like a dog?”

The two were more or less together all the time ever since Chu Qianli’s arrival and that had completely changed how Tan Muxing used to always be alone.

Wang Zheng already had the mode between the two figured out. Tan Muxing probably kissed up to the transfer student all the time for fear that he would be alone all over again.

Chu Qianli looked up in surprise.

Tan Muxing looked over at Wang Zheng next to him and plunged into silence. He had always ignored mockeries coming form Wang Zheng and his gang but he hadn’t expected that he would be doing that in front of his deskmate. That prompted him to react.

Tan Muxing smiled bitterly and said, “You are wrong about something.”

Wang Zheng, “What is it?”

Tan Muxing self-deprecated, “I am not as cute as a dog.”

Wang Zheng, “? ? ?”

Tan Muxing was like a big ball of dough and would never react when punched. Occasionally, others would find that even more infuriating. Some people might get angry when bullied. Tan Muxing, on the other hand, was like a deep pool of water. Not a single splash could be seen no matter how hard others tried.

Chu Qianli went silent for a few seconds, then, abruptly, she asked, “Do you have a secret crush for my deskmate?”

Tan Muxing whipped around and looked at her in shock, “?”

Wang Zheng, too, was shocked by her, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Chu Qianli, “Why else do you chat him up all the time? And felt the need to chime in when I was chatting with him?

Chu Qianli noticed since day one that Wang Zheng loved picking on Tan Muxing. She had always treated his words like farts but too much farts could really affect the air quality.

“Just look at him. Who would have a crush on him? Do you have a secret crush on him?” Wang Zheng knew that girls hate topics like that. They do not like to be associated with chubby boys.

Chu Qianli, however, was no ordinary girl. She said frankly, “No, if I have a crush on him, I would certain be open about it.”

She even asked for money point blank. Why did she need to hid her crushes?

Tan Muxing was befuddled.

Wang Zheng was very irritated. He now realized that Chu Qianli had very thick skin and it was impossible to chase her away from Tan Muxing.
