Chapter 153: A Close Friend with Sister?

***

Even if she truly made such a choice, would it be fair to them…

While Xia Ruoming was feeling troubled, Ye Han walked into her room again.

“Didn’t I say you should sleep in the master bedroom? I’m fine sleeping in the guest room alone,” Xia Ruoming looked at Ye Han and asked puzzledly.

“Haven’t I already told sister? I’m afraid of ghosts~ I don’t want to sleep alone~” Ye Han said while moving closer to Xia Ruoming, frightening her into quickly changing positions and giving her previous seat to Ye Han.

Just hearing the word ‘sister’ was enough to make Xia Ruoming’s scalp tingle.

You’re afraid of ghosts? I think ghosts are afraid of you instead. How come I didn’t know you were afraid of ghosts in the previous life?

“Fine then, sister doesn’t love me at all, hmph!” Ye Han took out a mini tarot card from her inner jacket pocket and placed it on Xia Ruoming’s bedside table. The laminated platinum tarot card had 【The Moon】printed on it.

When taking out that Empress card, Ye Han discovered that the faintly warm thing wasn’t the Empress card in her hand, there was another tarot card in that pocket, which was The Moon that An Jinrou had given her.

An Jinrou had once told her that The Moon card would lead her to find its owner. If this was a signal from the Moon card, then was Xia Ruoming the owner of this Moon card?

“The Moon?” Xia Ruoming squinted her eyes, picking up the familiar tarot card and examining it repeatedly before finally asking, “An Jinrou?”

After hearing this name from Xia Ruoming’s mouth, Ye Han nodded slightly. She became more certain of her speculation, it seemed An Jinrou’s person to find was indeed Xia Ruoming. Did she even know about her relationship with Xia Ruoming?

But there was still one thing Ye Han didn’t understand. If this was really the case, why did An Jinrou say she didn’t know Xia Ruoming? Since she already knew about her relationship with Xia Ruoming and entrusted her to deliver this card to Xia Ruoming, why didn’t she just tell her that Xia Ruoming was the card’s owner? Why be so secretive and say she didn’t know who that customer was?

Moreover, from Xia Ruoming’s tone, she obviously knew An Jinrou.

“Yes, she said after you went there for a fortune telling that day, you forgot to take this card with you, so now she wants to hand this card over to you,” Ye Han explained, then asked Xia Ruoming a question, “Ruoming, are you very familiar with An Jinrou, the owner of that fortune-telling shop?”

“Is that what she told you?” Xia Ruoming’s expression changed slightly.

Ye Han just looked at Xia Ruoming’s face and smiled ambiguously.

“Is that so… so she knows,” Thinking Ye Han had confirmed what she said, Xia Ruoming pondered for a long time and accidentally spoke her thoughts aloud, then remembered Ye Han was still beside her and kept the latter half in her heart.

【Since she already said she’s familiar with me, why did she pretend not to know me? But from that day, it seemed she really didn’t remember me. Could it be that the shop owner is also gradually recovering her memories?】

“Knows what?” Ye Han heard what Xia Ruoming inadvertently said and asked curiously.

“Nothing, I’ve only been there twice. I thought she would think we weren’t familiar at all,” Xia Ruoming waved her hand, covering up seamlessly.

“Oh…” Although Ye Han felt something was off about Xia Ruoming’s words, she couldn’t quite place it, so she changed the topic, “Then… since you know her and have been to her shop more than once, do you think her fortune-telling is accurate?”

Please don’t be too accurate, Ye Han thought to herself, as she had been scared by An Jinrou’s prediction that she would have more than one partner. She was clearly a pure, cute, gentle, and kind-hearted beautiful girl, how could she do something like maintaining multiple relationships?

“Her… prophecies and fortune-telling are really accurate, frighteningly so.” Xia Ruoming’s gaze met with Ye Han, and Ye Han noticed a hint of reminiscence in that gaze. “But strictly speaking, An Jinrou actually doesn’t know fortune-telling at all.”

“Huh?” Ye Han was quite confused. “If she can’t tell fortunes, why did sister say her fortune-telling is accurate?”

“That shop wasn’t originally a fortune-telling shop. An Jinrou named it Magic House because she really has magic. The reason I tell you she can’t tell fortunes is because she’s someone who knows the answers in advance and explains the process to you. An Jinrou doesn’t actually know tarot cards at all, everything is just a way to give you a reasonable method to accept her prophecies.”

“When your fate is The Moon, all nine cards on the table are actually the Moon. No matter which one you choose to flip over, the result is the same, that’s why she lets you flip over any card you want. It’s just a magic trick. When you want to ask about a second matter, the nine cards on the table will change into another set of identical cards at an appropriate moment.” Xia Ruoming shrugged. This was a secret An Jinrou had voluntarily told her. However, rather than magic tricks, Xia Ruoming preferred to believe it was magic, after all, An Jinrou herself came from a world that didn’t quite follow scientific principles.

“Is that so? I thought when she explained the tarot cards to me, it was from actual fortune-telling results. If it’s as sister says, then An Jinrou is someone who can see the future, right?”

“Not just that, she can do so many things. Rekindling old love, avoiding disasters, dispelling mental demons, or even becoming rich overnight, achieving instant fame, she can make it all happen for you, as long as you’re willing to pay the corresponding price. But I suggest you don’t try it, because the price she asks for, you can’t afford…”

“Then what should I do since I’ve already had my fortune told? And she said I’ve already paid what she wanted.” Ye Han asked somewhat weakly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have gone for the fortune-telling.

Actually, she didn’t know why, but when An Jinrou said those unscientific things, she didn’t believe them at all. However, when these same things came from Xia Ruoming’s mouth, she found them highly credible and instinctively believed them.

“It doesn’t matter,” Xia Ruoming said softly. “The price for having your fortune told by her isn’t money, nor is it anything strange, it’s just the fate between you. If your fate with her isn’t finished, you’ll naturally meet again.”

Looking at the serious-faced Xia Ruoming, Ye Han suddenly smiled.

“Sister was the top scholar, right? I thought someone like sister wouldn’t believe in these strange things. Sister really is different.”

“Speaking of which, sister understands An Jinrou so well, you haven’t made any deals with her, have you?” Ye Han’s gaze fell on Xia Ruoming’s face, immediately noticing her somewhat guilty expression.
