"Hey~"

A small brown-gray head popped out from behind the corridor pillar.

"Hey~"

Then it quickly shrank back.

"Hey~"

This time it showed up from a different angle.

"Hey~"

Then it quickly retracted.

The teacup in Zhou Yuan's hand was suspended in mid-air, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Even the fortune tellers who were sorting out the astronomical charts couldn't help but hold their foreheads with their hands—

This is the countless times I've seen that familiar figure playing whack-a-mole in the corridors of Taibusi.

"Qingque!"

An elderly fortune teller finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"What are you doing!"

She shuddered at being scolded and quickly laughed:

"Ahahaha, the horoscope plate is really polished today!"

Qingque rushed out in a flash, with a rag in his hand, pretending to wipe the dust that didn't exist at all.

As she wiped it, she stole glances at Zhou Yuan, her green eyes flashing with gossip.

Suddenly, her foot slipped -

"Wow!"

Everyone only saw a shadow flying towards Zhou Yuan.

Qingque frantically tried to grab something, but only managed to grab the tablecloth...

"Wow!"

The tea set and the star chart fly together, and the tea and the hexagrams are the same color.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Qingque was lying at Zhou Yuan's feet in an extremely awkward position, still tightly clutching the tablecloth that had caused the trouble.

"this..."

She smiled and looked up,

"I said it was the inertia caused by the Star Raft malfunction... Do you believe me?"

--------------

Qingque's fingertips holding the teacup tightened slightly, and the tea in the cup reflected her slightly uneasy reflection.

The girl, who is always full of energy on weekdays, is rarely quiet at this moment, even her iconic ahoge hair is drooping.

"Um...can I ask a question?"

Zhou Yuan put down the teacup and looked at the girl in front of him who had been acting suspiciously since just now.

"You seem to have been observing me for a long time. Do you want to know something?"

"that..."

She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Zhou Yuan, then quickly lowered them.

"Actually, I wanted to..."

The teacup was suddenly turned in a different direction, and Qingque took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind:

"Are you and Master Taibu really...are you..."

The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back, his bright green eyes rolled around, and he finally managed to say:

"Are you drinking Star Taro Bobo?"

"puff--"

Zhou Yuan almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

This girl's face clearly says "I want gossip", but she insists on beating around the bush.

He deliberately wiped the corner of his mouth slowly and leisurely:

"So Miss Qingque is so interested in drinks?"

"No way!"

Qingque jumped up in a hurry, but she tripped over her own skirt and almost fell into Zhou Yuan's arms.

She frantically steadied herself, blushing and muttering softly:

"I mean... that... Master Taibu never drinks with others..."

For a moment, the "tapping" sound of the fortune tellers knocking on the jade omen was particularly clear.

Zhou Yuan looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously extremely curious but didn't dare to speak out, and suddenly felt that Fu Xuan's subordinates were really...

Very interesting.

He looked at the girl whose face showed "want to gossip" and suddenly felt like teasing her.

He gently blew away the steam from the teacup and deliberately drew out his words:

"So...Miss Qingque, what do you think of the relationship between me and Master Fu Xuan?"

The teacup hit the table, making a crisp "ding" sound.

"this..."

Xiao Que'er looked a little embarrassed for a moment.

He held his chin with one hand, with a sly smile in his eyes:

"I heard Miss Qingque is also an excellent fortune teller? How about... a fortune telling?"

"Eh?!"

Qingque suddenly looked up, and a few strands of his brown-gray hair stood up in shock.

She frantically took out the copper coin she was carrying, but was caught by her sleeve the moment she threw it up.

"Wow!"

Three copper coins drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then accurately...

It fell into Zhou Yuan's teacup.

"Ah! My lucky money!"

Qingque screamed and almost fell on the table.

She looked pitifully at the copper coins sinking to the bottom, then at Zhou Yuan, whose shoulders were shaking from trying to contain his laughter, and finally buried her face in her hands in despair.

"It's over, it's over... I'm going to be transferred to the Danding Division by the old lady, Taibu, to grind medicine..."

Just as Qingque was muttering and complaining, a pink figure was approaching quietly.

Zhou Yuan keenly noticed that the purple crystal on Fu Xuan's forehead suddenly flickered -

Often this is a sign of her mood swings.

"Hey, don't laugh!"

Qingque was still mumbling without knowing whether to live or die.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Lady Taibu is small, she's incredibly terrifying when she gets angry! She must have sensed my secret divination just now..."

The pink figure suddenly stopped, and Zhou Yuan seemed to see materialized black gas rising from behind Fu Xuan.

But the suicidal girl was completely oblivious and even became more excited as she spoke:

"So, my dear husband, you must speak well of me..."

"Who do you say is my husband?!"

This roar shocked the entire Taibu Division.

Qingque turned his head stiffly and met Fu Xuan's golden eyes burning with anger.

"Qing! Sparrow!"

The star disk in Fu Xuan's hand spun wildly.

"Not only are you lazy—"

With each word she spoke she took a step forward,

"You still dare to spread rumors and cause trouble——"

The purple crystal on the forehead burst out with dangerous light.

"Don't even think about leaving get off work today until you've copied 'The Complete Solution to the Jade Omen Algorithm' ten times!"

Qingque jumped up with a "wow" and was about to run, but tripped over his own divination robe.

She looked at Zhou Yuan desperately and mouthed for help:

"Save-life-ah-"

Zhou Yuan silently picked up the teacup and took a sip, pretending not to see it.

After all, an angry Lord Fu Xuan is more terrifying than ten Qingques combined.

------------

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Zhou Yuan."

Fu Xuan tilted his head slightly, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the ancient patterns on the star disk.

The morning light filtered through the window, casting a layer of fine gold edges on the ends of her pink hair.

The purple crystal on the forehead flickered, making the crimson on the tip of the ear even more vivid.

"That Qingque guy always talks nonsense..."

She paused, and her voice gradually became as low as a mosquito's.

"Always speaking without restraint..."

"Husband" and so on, what on earth is Qingque thinking about!

The star tracks on the astrolabe suddenly became disordered, just like her surging emotions at the moment.

——Absurd! Absurd!

But think about it, which girl has not...

She subconsciously pressed her chest, where she felt an unusual throbbing.

As the head of the Taibu Division, she naturally knew what the "Tianfeng Gou" hexagram that appeared three times in a row on the night of the stars and the moon three days ago meant.

When there is wind in the world, yin and yang meet.

The time indicated was recently, so much so that she always looked up at the sky unconsciously these days, and even became a little absent-minded when sorting out the star map.

"Someone from outside the world..."

The sigh dissipated in the thick tea fragrance as soon as it came out.

She looked up and saw Zhou Yuan bending over to tidy up the tea set that Qingque had messed up, his slender fingers brushing across the water stains on the sandalwood tabletop.

The morning light gilded his outline, and in a trance, he overlapped with the figure in the hexagram.
