Chapter 123: Divination

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jing MO stared at Xia Xin’s bedroom door and couldn’t help but think about what Sun Hu had said earlier in the afternoon. He wondered if he had really done something wrong. He had always hoped to protect Xia Xin like an older brother, but when he saw that photo yesterday, he suddenly realized that something seemed to have quietly changed.

Jing Mo’s feelings for Xia Xin had evolved beyond mere care; it seemed like there were some other emotions mixed in as well.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the gray curtains, casting a glow on Xia Xin. She slowly woke up from her slumber.

Stretching lazily in bed, she glanced at the time and realized it was already noon. She remembered that she had promised to prepare lunch today as Jing MO had done yesterday. However, she had overslept.

Xia Xin hurriedly sat up and prepared to get out of bed. Suddenly, the system emitted a notification sound.

Master, a friendly reminder, the Basic Divination Talisman is about to expire. Would you like to use it?

Xia Xin then remembered the Basic Divination Talisman she had purchased in the system’s Shop when she first started this life. She had initially thought it would be permanently effective, so she had never remembered to use it.

Thinking about the Human Affinity points she had spent when buying it, Xia Xin felt a pang of regret. She replied, “Of course, I should use it. I can’t waste my Affinity points!”

The system automatically opened an interface and began.

The Basic Divination Talisman will start divining your career, love, or health for the next three months. Which aspect would you like to divine?

Perhaps because Xia Xin’s basic attributes had changed somewhat by now, the description of the Basic Divination Talisman differed slightly from what she had initially purchased. However, these minor details didn’t affect its usage, so Xia Xin didn’t inquire further.

After some consideration, Xia Xin thought that her recent life had been quite challenging, especially with the troubles she encountered right after starting her new job. She decided to check her career aspect to see if there were any unfavorable events she could avoid in advance.

Just as Xia Xin was about to make her selection, she suddenly received a text message from Zhao Nan.

Zhao Nan informed Xia Xin that she had passed the interview at Xu Zhi’s personal studio and could start working there. Zhao Nan also mentioned that she was planning to return to the company to handle her resignation and related handover procedures, and she should be able to start the new job in three days.

In the end, Zhao Nan added, [I must be one of the rare cases where a star chaser turns their idol into their boss, right? I’m so excited!]

Xia Xin read the message and felt genuinely happy for Zhao Nan. Suddenly, a flash of memory from her previous life, which she had completely forgotten, surfaced.

Xia Xin remembered that after her parents passed away, she had become reclusive and distanced herself from her friends. Even Zhao Nan had severed ties with her due to her difficult personality. However, Xia Xin had heard about Zhao Nan’s news later.

Zhao Nan had become the manager of her favorite idol and gradually, their relationship had grown closer. Three years later, they announced their marriage.

Xia Xin mused to herself, “I never expected that their love story would begin from here. And I unwittingly became a part of their relationship.”

Before Xia Xin could delve deeper into the implications of this revelation, the system suddenly said.

Alright, I will now divine your love fortune for the next three months.

Xia Xin was taken aback. She hurriedly said, “Wait a minute! Since when did the system become so sensitive? It can even recognize my inner thoughts! Change it to career, please!”

The system responded.

Change is not possible.

Xia Xin gave up. She had expected the divination to be like tarot cards, with a lengthy explanation of her fortune. Instead, it was a simple sentence.

It’s near at hand and far in the distance.

Xia Xin was baffled by this cryptic statement. She said, “What kind of vague message is this? Is it saying I’ll find love, or is it saying I won’t? Can you be any more ambiguous?”

Xia Xin remembered the system had advised her that once she found true love, the passive state of encountering bad people would be lifted. However, she hadn’t expected the system to provide such a cryptic answer, making her regret wasting her Human Affinity points.

Sighing over the Human Affinity points she had lost, Xia Xin was about to lament further when she heard a knock at the door.

Jing MO said, “Lunch is ready. Come out and eat.”

Xia Xin promptly replied, “Alright, I’ll be right there!”

So, what had initially been Xia Xin’s plan to cook ended up with Jing MO taking over once again..
