As Xiao Jin left Gu Ling's house, she looked at her longevity jade, which had regained its golden glow, with great satisfaction.

She held it tightly, secretly delighted.

Now her master won't scold her in her dreams!!

"So happy?" Yun Ziang looked at Xiao Jin with amusement and couldn't help but pinch Xiao Jin's cheek again.

Xiao Jin looked up at Yun Ziang, her eyes sparkling, "Grand-nephew, Xiao Jin made money! Xiao Jin wants to treat you to a delicious strawberry cake!"

Yun Ziang's heart melted instantly. He bent down, picked him up, and couldn't help but kiss him twice: "Oh, our little rich man has struck it rich? He even knows to treat his grand-nephew to cake now?"

"Of course!" Xiao Jin puffed out her little chest, looking proud. "Xiao Jin earned 176 yuan! Enough to buy several strawberry cakes!"

"I'll share a piece with you!"

Yun Ziang was overjoyed and took Xiao Jin to what he considered the best dessert shop.

Little Jin tiptoed over the glass display case, carefully selecting the two largest strawberry cream cakes, and said in her childish voice, "Auntie, two cakes, please!"

The two carried the cake to the table by the window and sat down.

Yun Ziang had only eaten half of the cake when his phone vibrated twice.

He took it out and glanced at it. It was Zuo Youyi, a high school classmate he wasn't very close to. They had only exchanged a few words during school and had an occasional "like" on each other's social media.

The other party sent a message: "[Yun Ziang, you said you know a very powerful master? Is it true?]"

Yun Ziang raised an eyebrow and typed back: 【Pretty impressive, what's up?】

What skills does that master possess? Can he/she see things?

[You can watch almost anything.]

After replying, he looked down at Xiao Jin, who was engrossed in eating cream, and poked her cheek: "Little miss, another order has come in, are you going to take it?"

Xiao Jin's mouth was stuffed full, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked up, her eyes lighting up: "Catch!"

She wants to accumulate merit!

Yun Ziang smiled and wiped her nose. He replied to her message, asking where she was and if it was convenient, she could come to the dessert shop to find them.

The other party replied quickly, saying that it was in the nearby business district and would arrive in half an hour.

The two were leisurely eating their cake when, half an hour later, a long-haired girl pushed open the door and walked into the store.

Her face was pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she had been staying up for several nights in a row. She looked listless and haggard.

She recognized Yun Ziang first and went straight over to sit down.

Zuo Youyi glanced around at him, saw no one else, and frowned as she asked, "Yun Zi'ang, where's the master? Didn't he come with you?"

Sitting across from me, Xiao Jin raised her chubby little hand high and exclaimed in her childish voice, "Here it is! This is me!"

Zuo Youyi's expectant expression froze instantly, and the smile on her lips disappeared.

She sized Xiao Jin up and down several times, then looked at Yun Zi'ang, her tone instantly turning cold, tinged with anger at being tricked: "Yun Zi'ang, what do you mean? I sincerely asked you for help, and you're using a four-year-old to play with me?"

"Hey, hey, don't be angry!" Yun Ziang quickly waved his hand, already adept at handling other people's doubts: "I'm not kidding you, it really is her."

"My great-aunt is very powerful; she just caught a ghost."

Zuo Youyi clearly didn't believe it, sitting in the chair with her arms crossed, her face looking very unpleasant.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ziang retrieved his chat history with Gu Ling and showed it to Zuo Youyi.

Zuo Youyi looked on with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. She looked at Yun Ziang's phone and then at Xiao Jin across from her.

After a few seconds of silence, she still held onto the hope of getting away with it, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Then... do you know how to use witchcraft? Or you can perform rituals."

Xiao Jin blinked, a hint of hesitation appearing on her small face: "Huh? What kind of curse are you going to use?"

practice?

There are no ghosts on this young lady.

Zuo Youyi took a deep breath, her eyes slowly reddening. "Could...could you make my ex-boyfriend change his mind and come back to me? I'm willing to pay any price."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ziang's lips twitched twice, and he exaggeratedly made a suffocating expression, pretending to pinch his philtrum:

"No, Miss, there are so many men in the world, why are you so fixated on this one? And using witchcraft? Is it really necessary?"

"You don't understand." Zuo Youyi lowered her head, her fingertips gripping the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling. "We've been together for three years, and I can't let go. I'll do anything as long as he comes back."

She was truly heartbroken. In the month since the breakup, she couldn't eat or sleep, and she kept making mistakes at work. She was on the verge of collapse.

I've tried everything—apologizing, pestering, asking friends to mediate—but the other person is only getting colder.

When all other options were exhausted, they turned to metaphysics as a solution.

Xiao Jin lay on the table, staring at her with her round eyes for a long time, her little brows slightly furrowed.

"Sister," she suddenly spoke, her voice soft yet clear, "the red thread between you and him has broken."

"The older brother over there has already left, and there's no way to bring him back."

Zuo Youyi froze, her face filled with sorrow: "What did you say?"

"That means your relationship is over," Xiao Jin said seriously, counting on her chubby little fingers. "That brother already has another sister. He doesn't like you anymore, so there's no point in trying to win him back."

Zuo Youyi's face turned pale instantly, after hearing only one sentence, "He has...someone else?"

She had a vague idea; before the breakup, he would always hide from her while looking at his phone, and occasionally he would smell an unfamiliar perfume on him. But she refused to admit it and was just deceiving herself.

Now, having my self-deceiving facade shattered instantly when a four-year-old child bluntly pointed it out, tears immediately streamed down my face.

"How could this be..." She covered her mouth, her voice choked with sobs, "We clearly promised to get married..."

"Even promises can change." Xiao Jin pulled a tissue from the tissue box, leaned on the table, and tried to wipe Zuo Youyi's tears.

She said softly, "Just like a strawberry cake will spoil if left out too long. If it doesn't taste good anymore, you just throw it away. Only when your stomach is empty can you eat a new, sweet cake."

Xiao Jin tilted her head and said very seriously, "Sister always cries and doesn't eat, so her luck is getting weaker."

"Only when the bad people leave can the good people come."

Zuo Youyi took the tissue, wiped her tears, and looked into Xiao Jin's clear eyes, "No, there won't be anyone better..."

"Oh my god!" Yun Zi'ang couldn't bear to look. "There are plenty of men in the world!"

"But I only want him!" Zuo Youyi choked back tears. "I don't want anyone else but him!"

Xiao Jin frowned, suddenly finding the cake in her mouth tasteless. "What about my sister?"

"Don't you want yourself anymore, sister? Your sister is the most precious treasure you should cherish!"

She looked at Zuo Youyi with some anger.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Youyi stared blankly at Xiao Jin, feeling as if something had pried open her heart.

Xiao Jin tilted her head and looked at Zuo Youyi for a while, then suddenly jumped off the chair, ran to Zuo Youyi, and stood on tiptoe to get closer to look at her face.

"Sister, lower yourself a little, Xiao Jin can't reach it."

Zuo Youyi was taken aback and subconsciously bent over.

Xiao Jin stretched out her chubby little hand, first gently touching her forehead, then tapping her brow bone, and finally poking her cheekbones. Tilting her little head, she said earnestly:

"Sister, your Palace of Fortune is full, like two small glutinous rice balls. This is called 'a bright and smooth Earth Treasury, indicating a bountiful old age,' which means that you are a person with good fortune in your later years."

"Long, smooth eyebrows with a tight knot at the inner corner are called 'early-awakening of love,' so your sister will meet someone she likes at a young age;"

"But the ends of your eyebrows are a little sparse, which is called 'broom sweeping the tail,' meaning that the fate you encountered this morning was like sweeping with a broom, simply cleaning your heart."

"The best part is here—" Xiao Jin pointed to her nose again, "Sister's nose is round and doesn't show any bone. This is called 'a round nose, indicating a supportive husband.'"

"And another thing," she blinked her big eyes and whispered a secret in Zuo Youyi's ear, as if telling her a great little secret, "Your philtrum is very deep, which means you'll always be loved and cared for, and your husband will cherish you. But you'll have to wait a bit, until you're over twenty-five, then your true love will come."

"Master said that good relationships are all lined up later; the one who arrives early is just there to wake up the older sister!"

"So, sister, stop crying! You'll cry away all your good fortune. Once you've recovered your luck, you'll find that perfect match who's always in line!"

Zuo Youyi was stunned. It was clearly a child talking nonsense, but for some reason, the knot in her heart was loosened by her words.

She wiped away her tears, still looking dazed, and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Then...where is my destined partner?"

Xiao Jin pondered for a moment, blinked, and asked, "Then, sister, could you tell me your birth date? What year, month, day, and hour were you born? I'll help you find out where your destined lover is in the queue."

"Birth date?" Zuo Youyi was taken aback for a moment, but answered without much hesitation.

She now trusts the little guy to some extent, and he answers her questions.

Xiao Jin hummed in agreement, lowered her head, and earnestly began to count on her chubby little fingers.

She tapped with her left hand, pinched with her right, and mumbled something under her breath, looking incredibly serious.

"Born in the year of Yi Hai, with the Mountain Fire element. The ninth month is the Xu month, the month pillar is Jia Xu, the eighteenth day... umm, Wu Chen day. Mao hour... that is Yi Mao hour."

She muttered to herself for a while, her little eyebrows furrowing and relaxing intermittently, before finally her eyes lit up and she looked up:

"In your sister's birth chart, the official star is revealed in the year pillar, no wonder she started dating so early. Unfortunately, the official star in the year pillar sits on the Hai water, which is called 'the official star sitting on a dead ground,' meaning that brother is unreliable."

Zuo Youyi only half understood what he was hearing, but for some reason, she felt a sense of anticipation.

Xiao Jin tilted her head and continued calculating on her fingers: "The official star of the Yi-Mao hour, Mao is wood, and it faces due east."
