"Alright, what do you want to calculate?"
The two got out of the car together, carrying their luggage and walking out of the station.
They found a small restaurant and decided to have lunch first.
"Fresh out of school, of course, it's about career."
After sitting down, Zhang Yang picked up the menu on the table and began to order dishes.
Lin Xu nodded and began to carefully observe Zhang Yang's appearance.
The forehead slightly creased, straight eyebrows, square face... It was the sign of a successful career.
Soon he came to a conclusion: "You'll find a job soon, and your career won't have any fluctuations. It's a government job. Although your life won't be extremely wealthy or powerful, it's stable and happy. However, there's one thing you need to pay attention to, you are straightforward in your character and not tactful in handling affairs, which makes you prone to offending people."
"No, that's not right... I told you before that I want to become a city administrator and then take the police exam. You also know my character and personality during my four years in college. And what you said can't be verified immediately for sure."
Zhang Yang frowned: "This doesn't count. Please calculate something else for me. If you can calculate accurately, I'll treat you to dinner today. If not, hehe, you'll treat me. How about that?"
"Can it be verified immediately?"
Lin Xu knew that this guy was testing him, so he decided to show some real skills: "OK. Give me your birth star chart. If you don't know, you can tell me your birth date, month, and time as well."
"OK."
Zhang Yang said out his birth star chart.
He thought that all those were just common phrases used in fortune-telling and a kind of low-level deception.
Because it couldn't be verified in a short time, there was no way to judge the authenticity.
And if it were something that could be verified immediately, then this lie would be directly exposed.
He felt that he was already certain to win, so when ordering dishes, he deliberately ordered a few of the most expensive ones in the restaurant. He decided to give Lin Xu a hard time and teach him a lesson.
On this side, Lin Xu began to calculate based on his birth star chart.
Your family consists of three generations. Your grandparents are still alive and live with you. Your father is the eldest in the family. You should also have an elder brother who is your uncle and a younger sister who is your cousin. You still have
A younger sister, now should be in high school...
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Yang directly interrupted Lin Xu, grinning like he had caught a fox's tail: "Haha, my grandfather had only two sons. Who is this little sister of yours? I told you all these fortune-tellers are just deceiving people, relying on luck. Now you've finally exposed yourself, right?"
"It shouldn't be like this."
Lin Xu furrowed his eyebrows and counted his fingers again, then suddenly understood: "Oh, your third-ranked little sister died prematurely when she was just one year old."
"Fake it, keep faking."
The smile on Zhang Yang's face grew even wider: "I've been born for over twenty years, and I've never heard my father and my grandparents or my great-grandparents mention that I had an early death little sister. You know more about our family than I do?"
"If you don't believe me, you can call your family members."
Lin Xu said calmly.
Seeing that he was still stubbornly pretending to be a wise person,
Zhang Yang couldn't hold back any longer: "No... Lin Xu, I know these things are your hobby. Buddy, I also respect your hobby. But just deceive your brother for now. Don't deceive yourself either. We still have to believe in science."
"I'm calculating the truth. If you don't verify it, I'll assume you tacitly agree that I'm hosting today's dinner."
Lin Xu looked at the plate of Su Po's pork legs that the waiter had brought to the table.
"Alright, since you want to humiliate yourself, don't blame me for exposing you in front of your face."
Zhang Yang had no choice but to pick up his phone, think for a moment, and then dialed his father's number.
"Hello, Dad."
"Oh, Yangyang, you're back?"
"Yes, I just got off the bus."
"Go home first. Your grandma and your mom are at home. I'm on duty today and will come back later at night."
"I'll have lunch with my classmates outside. By the way, Dad, is there... am I still supposed to have an early death little sister?"
"A little sister? My grandfather and I are the only two sons. Where did you get this little sister? Did you encounter a fraud? Collect the evidence and send it to me. I'll have my colleagues there look into it."
"No... It was many years ago. Our family had a little sister who died just after her first birthday."
"This... Where did you hear this? Was it from your grandma?"
"Ah? There really is one?"
"This happened over forty years ago. No one has mentioned it since. Don't tell your grandma and grandpa that you know. It will only make them sad and upset. Also, remember to go home early."
"... "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang was completely stunned.
Regarding this little cousin, he had never heard of this before in all these years. If it weren't for Lin Xu mentioning it, he probably would never have known about it for the rest of his life.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence..."
Zhang Yang comforted himself and then forced himself to remain calm.
Looking at Lin Xu: "Even if you were lucky this time and guessed right, it's still not over yet."
"Not yet."
Lin Xu smiled slightly and continued to calculate.
"When you were eight years old, you had a serious illness. Fortunately, you survived. When you were sixteen, you were stabbed. It must have been a fight, and you broke your leg..."
Listening to Lin Xu's calculation, Zhang Yang's expression became increasingly grim.
Because all of what Lin Xu said matched exactly. Many things he himself didn't remember so clearly, but Lin Xu spoke them out as if he had gone through his life's history.
"Lin Xu..."
Zhang Yang interrupted him again, his expression turning gloomy: "Where did you get such detailed information about our family?"
"Ah."
Seeing that he still didn't believe, Lin Xu took a deep breath.
"Since that's the case, let's stop talking about what happened and move on to something that didn't happen or will happen..."
He fixed his gaze on Zhang Yang's face: "You're going to have a bloody accident today, but it's just a trivial minor disaster. It should be a minor scrape or bruise, and you'll see some redness."
"Humph, then I want to see how you handle the bleeding."
Zhang Yang sneered, but his mind was still thinking about where Lin Xu got such detailed information about their family.
But on second thought, it was unlikely. Especially the matter of his little cousin, his father had said that no one had mentioned it for over forty years. How did Lin Xu know? If all of that was calculated by Lin Xu, that was too godlike.
"Toilet."
As he thought about it, suddenly he felt a strong urge to urinate. Zhang Yang got up and headed towards the toilet.
Lin Xu calmly took out the food and began to enjoy this free meal of the day.
Soon, there was a commotion in the toilet. When Zhang Yang came out again, his forehead was scratched and blood was flowing down his cheek.
"Oh dear, are you okay?"
The restaurant owner and the waiter were startled and hurriedly went to stop the bleeding and treat the wound for him.
"I'm fine. I was distracted and slipped, my head hit the sink."
Zhang Yang waved his hand.
After the wound was treated, he returned to his seat and looked deeply at Lin Xu on the other side.
"Wow."
Zhang Yang's face was filled with awe.
"Brother... or no, Master, you're so accurate in your calculations!"
