I'm pretending to be a fairy in kindergarten

Inside the school's tea house.

Xiao Heqing bought two drinks and sat down, while Jiang Xueli across from her was studying by flipping through a book.

Although university life is supposed to be free, you can't really play around every day; you still need to read books occasionally.

However, He Qing was very curious: "Lily, if you want to study, why don't you go to the library? Isn't it quieter there than here? Here, I bought you a drink."

Jiang Xueli took the drink and said thank you: "Studying? I wasn't studying."

"Aren't you reading a book?" Xiao Heqing asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xueli glanced down at the book in her hand and said with a smile:
"Oh, this isn't it. I saw a post online a few days ago that said if you carry a book with you when you're resting, you'll have good luck for a short time, so I brought it with me. I've been having a bit of bad luck these past two days."

Mercury retrograde?

"Hmm." She said helplessly, "Recently, when I use chopsticks to eat, disposable chopsticks will split in the middle, I will choke when I drink water, the comb will get stuck in my hair, and even when I call Zhengran, the phone will fall to the ground and crack." She took out her phone with a cracked screen as proof: "See?"

Xiao Heqing was stunned: "Are you kidding me?"

She said dejectedly, "I know you don't believe it, and I don't believe it either, but that's the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have resorted to such unorthodox methods."

After saying that, Jiang Xueli inserted the straw, but accidentally used too much force, and the cup tipped over, spilling water onto the book and phone.

Jiang Xueli and Xiao Heqing were so startled that they quickly took out tissues to wipe themselves.

However, the books were a bit soggy, the phone got wet, the skirt was soaked, and the screen went black and the computer crashed.

Jiang Xueli looked at the mess on the table and said with a wronged expression, "See? I told you I've been having bad luck lately! My phone is completely broken."

He Qing, who witnessed it firsthand, admitted defeat: "I really saw it this time, I'm really unlucky... I'm sorry, Lily, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have bought you water!"

"It's not your fault, it's just Mercury retrograde."

After saying that, Xiao Heqing imitated Lin Zhengran and patted Jiang Xueli's head: "I'm so sorry, Lili, don't cry, Lili, it'll be alright~"

Jiang Xueli wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I started having this problem after I got a reminder call from the music company last week when I came back from the south. But it's okay if I'm unlucky now. I'm just worried about what will happen if I'm unlucky in the competition before the new year. I'm going there in two months. This is the most important competition of my life."

Xiao Heqing thought to herself that this kind of thing was really difficult to help with.

"Why don't we ask Lin Zhengran if he has any ideas?"

"Ask Zhengran? Even Zhengran can't do something like this, can he? He's not a god, how could he change my fate?"

Xiao Heqing sipped her drink: "That's true..."

Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Qian walked by from a distance outside the teahouse, attracting the attention of Xiao Heqing and Jiang Xueli.

She was holding some forms in her hand.

Jiang Xueli asked in confusion, "What has Jiang Qian been busy with lately? She hasn't bothered Zheng Ran for a long time, and she's almost never seen except when she's in class."

Xiao Heqing shook her head: "I don't know, and she and Fang Meng haven't been together recently. It seems like they've broken up."

Jiang Xueli pressed her phone again; it was indeed completely broken and she would have to buy a new one. "I don't understand those two. By the way, where did Han Wenwen go?"

Xiao Heqing turned around and looked at Jiang Xueli: "Oh, Wenwen said she went to a lingerie store near the school to buy lingerie. I guess she'll be back in a while."

Jiang Xueli asked Xiao Heqing, "Buying underwear? Why didn't you ask us to go with you?"

Xiao Heqing sipped her drink: "She said she didn't want to disturb your studies, so she asked me to stay here with you while she went off. Who knew you were holding a book but not reading it?"

Jiang Xueli suddenly sensed something and her eyes widened in disdain: "Wait a minute, He Qing, don't you think something's not right? Zheng Ran hasn't come yet, and Wenwen isn't here either. Do you think it's possible that that fox went to find Zheng Ran?" "Huh?!" Little He Qing exclaimed in surprise: "That can't be right, can it? Wenwen said she'd be back soon. It's not like she's not coming back. How could she go looking for Lin Zheng Ran in such a short time? Lin Zheng Ran is still at home."

Jiang Xueli scoffed, "Anything is possible, but it's also possible that I'm overthinking it."

She stood up: "I'll go buy another cup of water, wait for me."

"Ah."

As a result, when Jiang Xueli left her seat, she inexplicably bumped her arm on the corner of the table again.

He let out a cry of pain and looked down at his injured, white elbow.

Xiao Heqing asked worriedly, "Are you alright, Lily?! How could you be so unlucky? I happen to have some band-aids in my bag, wait a moment."

Jiang Xueli winced as she looked at her elbow, which had gradually turned from white to red. It was clear that she had scraped her skin, but thankfully, it wasn't bleeding yet.

She put on the band-aid He Qing gave her, said thank you, and went to buy water herself.

Although the bar wasn't far away, and even a three-year-old could easily buy water, He Qing was starting to worry about whether Lily could manage such a difficult task.
Jiang Xueli pressed the bandage on both sides and went to ask for a glass of lemonade.

"Sister, give me a glass of lemonade."

"OK, wait."

While waiting, a familiar girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Jiang Xueli, do you have time?"

Jiang Xueli looked up at the person who made the sound and realized it was: "Fang Meng?"

Standing to the side, Fang Meng was wearing a very stylish plaid shirt and a short skirt.

Her straight, snow-white legs were very eye-catching. Lily stared at Jiang Qian's best friend, who had her hair tied in a ponytail, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Fang Meng calmly said, "I'd like to ask you some questions. I don't know if it's convenient, but as payment, I can tell you how to break the Mercury retrograde."

She solemnly pulled a certificate from her pocket: "I'm a professional. I've passed the fortune teller certification exam before. Trust me."

Jiang Xueli took it in disbelief. It did indeed have Fang Meng's name on it. She exclaimed, "Really? Is there such a certificate in the world? And how did you know I was going through Mercury retrograde?"

Fang Meng: "You've been radiating bad luck these past two days. It's obvious at a glance. And I just witnessed a series of misfortunes happening to you right next to me. It must be Mercury retrograde."

Jiang Xueli: "."

"Let's try anything," she said to Fang Meng, "Are there many questions? Where do you plan to ask them? I still need to stay with He Qing."

"Here is fine. This lemonade is on me. I have five questions for you. After you answer them, I will tell you how to break the Mercury retrograde. Don't worry, they are all trivial questions and very simple."

"Fine.."

So Fang Meng and Jiang Xueli sat at the same table again.

Jiang Xueli smoothed her pigtails, carefully inserted the straw, and successfully drank the water.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Go ahead and ask."

Fang Meng took out her notebook: "First question, is Lin Zhengran currently juggling three... oh no, four relationships?"

Jiang Xueli blushed and choked, spraying a mouthful of lemonade right onto Fang Meng's face.

He kept coughing. (End of Chapter)
