Lost Narrative Poetry

Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, then nonchalantly stretched out her other hand and spread it towards the boy opposite.

"Um?"

Looking at the white and slender palm that suddenly stretched out in front of him, Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand uncertainly, gently grasped the girl's green and exquisite palm, and shook it gently up and down. shake……

When shaking hands with a woman, a man should wait until the woman reaches out her hand before shaking her hand, and when he needs to shake hands with a woman, he should hold the fingertips...

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Xia Ran didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't even remember when she mastered these inexplicable handshake etiquette——

It's warm and soft, not the cool feeling you imagined...

It's really strange. He always subconsciously feels that the girl in front of him has no warmth at all. She is always as cold as the snow on the snow-capped mountains that never melts all year round.

"What are you doing?" The cold voice of the girl with long black hair brought his thoughts back to reality.

She didn't have the hurtful behavior of retracting her hand like a conditioned reflex. She just glanced down at her held palm and asked very coldly, but her behavior seemed even weirder.

"Shake hands."

Xia Ran replied strangely, isn't this an obvious thing?

"Does it take so long to hold a handshake? I asked you to give me the deck of cards." Yukinoshita said calmly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, you told me earlier..."

Xia Ran suddenly understood, and then let go of her palm very naturally, without any sign of embarrassment at all, which made the two girls present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

——How thick-skinned is this person?

"Here you go..." Xia Ran happily put the entire deck of cards into the girl's palm, "But do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas, I just feel that this method is really not accurate..." Yukinoshita said calmly, put the card he had just drawn back into the whole deck of tarot cards, and then quickly shuffled the cards. .

"..."

"..."

"Yukoshita-san, what card did you just draw? Can't you let me take a look?"

Seeing this scene, Xia Ran suddenly felt something was wrong and asked tentatively. He felt a little pity that he didn't pay attention to the card she pulled out just now, and handed over the card library so readily.

"It's nothing, it's just a "Moon" card. There's nothing worth paying attention to..." the girl replied calmly. Anyway, now that she has shuffled the cards, she can say whatever she wants.

"If there is really nothing to care about, why are you so anxious to cover it up?" Xia Ran asked doubtfully.

"You're overthinking. I'm not hiding it. I just want to...well, I just want to try divination myself. After all, I have mastered some methods before, and now I have some interest..."

After Yukinoshita stared at his face for a long time, she thought about it seriously before saying this.

"..."

"..."

It's really hard for you to lie. You actually need to think about it face to face before giving such an unreliable reason...

"Okay, how about you try to divine my luck today?"

Xia Ran didn't say anything, but just nodded, saying that no matter whether others believed it or not, he believed what the girl said, and he kindly gave her a chance to perform.

Yukinoshita's movements paused slightly at first, and then returned to normal. She didn't say anything, but just nodded: "Okay, let's choose the cards..."

Anyway, she didn't understand tarot card divination at all, so she could just tell her what she said casually, and the person in front of her obviously wouldn't believe what she said casually, so there was no need to worry about misleading the other person.

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it... may I ask what the result is?"

Xia Ran looked sincere as she watched Yukinoshita shuffle the cards, stack them horizontally, and then let him choose, so she cooperated simply.

Although Yukinoshita dealt with it for a while, she also did it in a decent manner. It was not like Xia Ran who was just shuffling playing cards so casually. Instead, he followed the regular steps, from shuffling, cutting, From card selection to card opening and interpretation of the card array——

Although she had only learned about it before, she didn't feel unfamiliar or stiff at all when she started to use it directly... Of course, it was just superficial, and in fact it really didn't make much sense.

After all, no matter it is the widely circulated alternative, six-pointed star, holy triangle... and other methods, they can only deceive people in form. They will make people feel mysterious and mysterious, and they will be subconsciously suggested. Preconceptions want to believe in the divination results.

But in fact, if you really want to pay attention to the real effect, it is not as good as Xia Ran's method of discarding all superficial forms and simply shuffling the cards and randomly picking one out.

"Well, this is..."

Yukinoshita couldn't help but frown, and found that the cards in her hand seemed to have some bad meanings when interpreted...

Although she really didn't think she had any real talent, and the divination results were certainly inaccurate, she still felt that this seemed a little bad. If possible, she still wanted to interpret a good meaning.

Because people always seek comfort subconsciously, this is true for religious beliefs and occult rituals. If there are good signs, they will be willing to believe in them. Although they think it is a kind of psychological comfort, if they are bad, they will regard them as superstition. It is undeniable that it will be affected.

This person is really, obviously able to accurately draw the cards he wants from the card library, why can't he at this time... Well, wait, did I overlook something?

Yukinoshita suddenly thought of something. Looking at the tarot cards in his hand, it seemed that it was not safe for him to do this, because this person could still find the card he had drawn before. And maybe he didn't pay much attention to it before, but after this incident, he must have become curious and will definitely investigate it.

"..."

"..."

The activity room of the service department suddenly became quiet. Only the second hand on the clock was ticking, the sound was slow but loud.

"What's wrong? Isn't it okay? How about I do it..." Xia Ran urged in a strange tone.

"It's nothing, I just got distracted suddenly." The girl said calmly, "It seems that the Tarot cards are interesting. I'm going to study them. Give me this deck of cards..." Although it is a question, it is a narrative. Factual tone.

"Ahem, this doesn't work. I just bought this today..." Xia Ran pretended to cough a few times, then decisively shook her head in refusal, expressing her embarrassment. "So after you finish reading it quickly, return the cards to me."

Sure enough there is a problem!

Yukinoshita didn't believe that this person would act so stingy for such a reason. He was not the kind of person who cared about a few small coins at all.

She frowned slightly, but did not answer. She just looked at the tarot cards in her hand, and then said in her usual cold voice: "According to the divination results, you will lose money today."

Xia Ran: "..."

…

…

In a sense, Yukinoshita is really talented in tarot card divination.

At least when divining Xia Ran's luck today, the results obtained were very accurate, unlike other fortune tellers who were always vague, inconsistent, and ambiguous. They could be interpreted in any way, but they just took advantage of the customer's psychology.

She announced the divination results very confidently, and she was so accurate that she knew exactly what would happen... This kind of accomplishment can be called a miraculous skill.

——If it wasn't herself who made this happen.

After confirming that the girl had decided to reveal her deck of tarot cards, Xia Ran had no choice but to give up. However, she had already guessed in her mind what the card Yukinoshita had pulled out before, but there was none. It’s just a way to actually determine it.

Forget it, the future is long, let her win a round for the time being... It's a pity that the Tarot cards were not put into the treasure house space of the Golden City for registration before, otherwise, they would be directly recycled later.

Xia Ran thought so.

"Yesterday, I asked Hiratsuka-sensei to change the location of our workplace internship. It is also at Seaside Makuhari Station, but it does not completely overlap with Yuigahama and the others."

At this time, Yukinoshita talked about her arrangements. I don't know if she was really concerned about Yuigahama Yui's affairs, or if she was changing the subject.

"Their determined location is an electronic machinery manufacturing company, and we are in an office building on the other side of the street... In this way, they should not know about it, and there will be no surprises."

"Is it possible to modify the arrangement so easily?" Xia Ran twitched, "I clearly remember Mr. Hiratsuka's repeated orders and deadlines. Once submitted, no changes can be made..."

She is so happy now. How happy is she to see her and Yukinoshita's actions?

Xia Ran even had some doubts. If he went to Hiratsuka Shizu and said that he planned to use the most passionate method to restore the friendship with those two people, sing about youth and so on, and the prerequisite for doing all this was to kidnap the student council president——

Then this older, unmarried female teacher who likes to read hot-blooded cartoons and wants her students to regain their youth, passion, and no regrets is absolutely willing to help carry out the kidnapping plan.

She is the kind of person who would feel young and passionate even if she sees students fighting each other under the sunset... and is unreliable.

If Xia Ran and Yukinoshita do nothing, Hiratsuka Shizuka will be disappointed, and will even hate the iron for putting pressure on them. But if Xia Ran and Yukinoshita are ready to do something, she will be very happy to see the two working hard to restore their friendship and providing various conveniences and cooperation.

"Teacher Hiratsuka is very easy to talk to. I just talked to her, and she immediately helped us change the arrangements for our workplace internship. She said that she would solve any subsequent changes and other troubles, so we don't need to worry about it..."

Yukinoshita said calmly.

"On the contrary, convincing the people in the same group is the most troublesome. I have no choice at all. Those girls are basically full of hostility towards me. It would be great to be able to hold their noses and form a team with me. This matter is also normal. Mr. Tsuka helped..."

"Convince the people in the same group?" Xia Ran was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, we work in groups of three. Since we want to change the arrangement of the workplace internship, we naturally need the consent of the people in the same group, right?" The girl said matter-of-factly, and then she seemed to notice something and stared at him closely. "Wait a minute, didn't you forget that you still have teammates?"

"..."

"..."

"It's a small accident. You can't blame me. Who makes Kato-san's presence so low? I always subconsciously ignore her..." Xia Ran laughed and looked out the window.

"Kato-san? Is it Kato Megumi who was on duty with you that time? Are you teaming up with her?" Yukinoshita thought about it and quickly found an ordinary figure in his mind.

I still have some impressions, although I am not as enthusiastic as Yuigahama and became friends with her.

But that girl made her feel peaceful and kind, quite sincere, and not as sinister as other girls, which made her somewhat fond of her.

"Yes, and because of the number of people, it was only me and her in the end..." Xia Ran nodded. For this reason, he even forgot that he had a teammate.

"I thought you had asked for the consent of the people in the same group before letting me go to Mr. Hiratsuka to modify the arrangement..." Hearing this, Yukinoshita held her temples as if she had a headache. "What should we do now? The workplace internship will begin the day after tomorrow!"

"no problem."

"no problem?"

"Well, actually it doesn't matter whether you ask or not... Kato-kun will definitely agree. I'll just go back and talk to her later."

Xia Ran thought about Kato Megumi's character, simulated her answer in her mind, and suddenly felt that it was not a big deal. Although she knew it was rude to help Kato-san make decisions like this, she was really easy to talk to.

Yukinoshita looked at him with her usual cold expression, her eyes full of suspicion. How could this man help other girls make decisions so naturally?
