Chapter 200: Forecast Again
Only after hearing the splash of something hitting the water did Xuan Xia stop her steps and turn to check the situation in the swimming pool.
An Qi and the others also stopped, all looking over following the sound.
Wen Zhu and Cui Xiaobai, who had been pushing and shoving all the way just now, had both fallen into the swimming pool.
And their landing spot was exactly the position where Xuan Xia and the others had been earlier.
Xuan Xia looked at the two people in the swimming pool, not surprised at all in her heart, and at the same time relieved that she had run fast enough.
The island had high temperatures, plus it was just a simple recording, so she hadn’t taken many safety measures when changing clothes. If she had gone into the swimming pool to soak, she probably wouldn’t have been able to get out for half a day.
Chang Xi’s forecast should count as verified, right?
At this time, An Qi walked to Xuan Xia’s side with lingering fear, relieved, “Good thing we ran fast. These clothes of mine can’t get wet.”
The next second, she realized something and looked at Xuan Xia with admiring eyes, “Hey, Xuan Xia. Did you calculate it one step ahead, that’s why you said to run?”
Xuan Xia gave her a look, everything unspoken.
An Qi continued to gaze at Xuan Xia with eyes full of admiration, even more determined to stick with Xuan Xia tomorrow.
Over there, more and more people noticed Wen Zhu and Cui Xiaobai falling into the water.
After confirming that the two had no danger, Xuan Xia lost interest and gestured to An Qi: “Let’s go back, no more watching the show.”
Besides lacking interest, she was also a bit cautious; their current position still had swimming pools on both sides.
An Qi hummed, withdrew her line of sight from watching the show, and obediently followed Xuan Xia.
Back at the hotel, Xuan Xia thought about it and still maintained a cautious attitude, letting Yang Wanxiu stay in her room for more than half an hour until she finished washing up and confirmed nothing was wrong before letting her go back to rest.
Once alone, Xuan Xia summoned Chang Xi.
As soon as Chang Xi appeared, her first glance wasn’t at Xuan Xia; her line of sight curiously scanned the hotel room, as her limited experience had never seen this South Seas exotic decor style.
Seeing this, Xuan Xia simply gave her time to appreciate it, estimating the time was about right before asking Chang Xi, “Chang Xi, can you improve your forecast a bit?”
Chang Xi withdrew her gaze from studying the chandelier and tilted her head toward Xuan Xia.
Xuan Xia said, “When you give the forecast, can you include the time and location as well?”
“Also, is your forecast targeted at me? Could it actually have nothing to do with me, but be related to people around me?”
Although Daoist Master Qin had mentioned that Chang Xi’s forecasting technique was to help her seek fortune and avoid harm, Xuan Xia still had some skeptical attitude about it.
Chang Xi still tilted her head looking at Xuan Xia, making Xuan Xia mimic her and look back.
One person and one spirit stared at each other for a moment like this.
In the end of the staring contest, Chang Xi finally spoke: “I can’t do it.”
Xuan Xia asked patiently: “Which part can’t you do?”
Chang Xi said: “Neither time nor location, I can’t do it!”
“Oh.” Xuan Xia smiled and said: “This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, pretty useless.”
Chang Xi was openly disliked and immediately became unhappy, “I tell you whatever I calculate. I told you right away!” And yet she was called useless?!
Being this prophecy spirit was really frustrating; better to continue being a ghost!
Chang Xi started to regret it a bit.
But the regretful emotion lasted only an instant; the next second, Chang Xi suddenly looked somewhere, her face thoughtful.
Seeing her like this, Xuan Xia immediately had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, two seconds later, Chang Xi said like an emotionless machine: “Beware of water.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
Why beware of water again?!
Xuan Xia was just about to speak when Chang Xi seemed to know what she would say and preempted: “I didn’t forecast wrong, just beware of water!”
“…”
Xuan Xia directly flopped onto the sofa, unable to hold back a sigh.
After a moment of silence, she struggled to raise her eyes to Chang Xi: “Does this forecast of yours have a time limit? Exactly how long is the time limit?”
Chang Xi looked back at her, held it in for a long time, and finally said: “The entire day tomorrow.”
“Got it. Thanks.”
Sure enough, whether people or spirits, they all need a push. Without a push, you won’t know how great their potential is.
She just said she didn’t know, but now she could state the time limit.
Xuan Xia was pleased, but after the pleasure, she started worrying again.
Why didn’t the program group record these last two episodes in the desert?
–
The next morning early, the guests arrived at the restaurant one after another to enjoy breakfast.
After arriving at the restaurant, Xuan Xia first looked for Zhou Shiqing’s figure.
Some matters, she wanted to discuss with Zhou Shiqing before the recording started.
But she didn’t find Zhou Shiqing and instead first ran into Jiang Feng who had just arrived at the restaurant.
Jiang Feng stopped by her side, smiling and greeting her good morning.
Xuan Xia returned the greeting, then proactively asked: “How did your chat with Brother Ji go last night?”
Last night, Chang Xi’s forecast had taken all her attention, so she hadn’t asked about the follow-up of their conversation.
The smile on Jiang Feng’s face turned to annoyance, “Last night I wanted to ask you to put in a good word from the side, but unexpectedly you left first.”
“Brother Ji didn’t give you face?”
Jiang Feng shook his head, thought for a moment, and said: “If you were there, it probably could have been a more pleasant chat.”
Xuan Xia didn’t think so.
While talking, Zhou Shiqing’s voice came from behind.
“Don’t block the way, thanks.”
The two turned together and saw Zhou Shiqing with clear displeasure on his face.
Xuan Xia thought, did Zhou Shiqing not sleep well last night? Was this his morning temper flaring up?
Then should she still discuss it with him?
Zhou Shiqing’s line of sight swept across the two faces, not taking the wide paths on left and right, but fixating on the space between them, asking them to make way.
Of course, the focus might be hoping Jiang Feng would step aside to let him pass.
Jiang Feng slightly pursed his lips, glanced left and right, then stepped to Xuan Xia’s side, standing in a row with her to clear a wide path for Zhou Shiqing.
Zhou Shiqing immediately frowned.
But the frown had just formed before it immediately relaxed and smoothed out, because Xuan Xia said, “Teacher Zhou, I’ve been looking for you.”
“Looking for me? For what?” The frown relaxed, but the tone was still a bit unhappy.
Xuan Xia thought and said: “Let’s talk while eating.”
Then she said to Jiang Feng: “Teacher Jiang, we’ll chat later.”
Zhou Shiqing couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, looked at Xuan Xia, then at Jiang Feng beside her, the corner of his mouth quirking up.
Jiang Feng: “…”
After getting food and picking a good spot to sit, Zhou Shiqing impatiently asked: “What do you want with me?”
But Xuan Xia didn’t rush to say, instead caringly urging him: “Eat breakfast first, don’t go hungry.”
Hurry and eat something to dispel the morning temper.
Zhou Shiqing didn’t know her little scheme, but he quite appreciated the latter half of her words.
My friend says I’m a quality inspector for fresh ingredients 🙂
My writing buddy tells me to go vegetarian for a month, saying only then can I truly recover. I just want to say, I’m so hungry…
