I was a fortune teller in 90

When Dai Qing was sitting on the train and enjoying the scenery along the way, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Before getting in the car, Dai Qing called Tang Zikai to say hello, put down the small table, and lay down on it with her eyes closed to rest.

It is quite tiring to take the green hard-seat train all the way to the capital.

But the sleeper tickets are sold out, and only hard seats are available.

Fortunately, there weren't too many people in the hard seat carriage, so it didn't have much of an impact. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was the smell of boiled eggs in the carriage at mealtime.

It was finally half past five when the train stopped at Capital West Station. She got off the train with her bag on her back and followed the crowd to the outside of the station.

Just as she was about to hail a taxi, she heard someone calling her name.

Dai Qing turned her head and saw Tang Zikai waving at her under the street light.

It was about five o'clock in the winter, the weather was dim, and the street lights were on.

Tang Zikai stood under the street lamp in the dim light. Dai Qing looked at the curve at the corner of his mouth, which directly diluted the tough sense of distance on his body and added a bit of intimacy.

The man was wearing a brown flying jacket with a fur collar and black training pants that were tight around his long legs, outlining his powerful lines. He was wearing a pair of black combat boots, and he exuded a tough and unrestrained military aura from head to toe.

He has a neat and capable crew cut and his eyes are deep and firm, like the bright stars in the night sky, as if they can see into people's hearts.

His heroic eyebrows were slightly raised, and when he smiled, a gentle arc appeared at the corners of his eyes. Although he was in the bustling station, there was no one around him, which gave off a sense of transcendent tranquility.

Seeing Tang Zikai standing there with his hands in his pockets, he exudes an aura that makes people give him a distance.

Dai Qing knew that it was not that this man kept people at a distance, but that the evil spirit on him made people inexplicably afraid. Only people who had experienced bloodshed and war would develop such evil spirit.

Although they live in a peaceful era, there are still some chaos that ordinary people cannot see and they need soldiers to come and calm the situation.

Dai Qing walked forward with her bag. Tang Zikai walked forward with a smile, took the bag from her hand and put it directly in the trunk.

"The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. It's cold. I prepared a down jacket for you in the back seat."

"Thank you, I brought some clothes."

Dai Qing sat in the car and immediately saw the bag next to the seat: a long bright red down jacket.

Seeing this color, Dai Qing couldn't help but twitch her lips. This was the color of the red flag. Although it looked good, she had never worn such bright clothes before and was a little uncomfortable.

"I've already bought it, so just make do with what you have."

Tang Zikai started the car and merged into the traffic. He looked at Dai Qing through the rearview mirror and spoke softly,
"I have made an appointment with Kuanzi and the others, and have booked the tickets. We will leave for Hainan the day after tomorrow, so that you can go swimming in the sea."

"I'm a landlubber. It's ok for me to go on vacation to warm up, but swimming is out of the question." The only thing she didn't try after her rebirth was swimming.

In her previous life, she had only been to the water park once. During that time, she accidentally entered the deep water area, which was directly submerged up to her chest, and she couldn't breathe all of a sudden.

If someone hadn't helped her, she might have died a few years earlier.

Ever since that time, she has had an inexplicable fear of water.

"Swimming is easy to learn. I'll teach you when the time comes." Tang Zikai chuckled and didn't take her words to heart at all.

An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Zaoshu Hutong and the two went straight home with their things.

The yard of my home, which I hadn't lived in for several months, was covered with a layer of fallen leaves mixed with ice chips, which made a crackling sound when I stepped on them.

Dai Qing took out the key from the cracks in the bricks, opened the door to the living room, and turned on the switch. The empty house was a bit chilly, so Dai Qing pulled down the sheets covering the sofa and electrical appliances, and asked Tang Zikai to sit down. She took the electric kettle and boiled a pot of water.

Wash your hands first and warm them up, then boil some water and make some tea to warm your stomach.

"Fortunately, the gas tank was not frozen, so we can still make a fire and cook."

Dai Qing went to the kitchen to check around, turned on the fire to boil a pot of hot water, and scalded all the plates and bowls. When she took out the big pot to start cooking, she was stopped by Tang Zikai.

"No need to cook so late, I'll take you out to eat."

"During the Chinese New Year, everyone is resting at home. Are restaurants open?"

During this period, the New Year atmosphere is full and everyone attaches great importance to this festival. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or an individual, they will give themselves a holiday to visit relatives and friends.

In short, it is rare to see restaurants open before the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

"This is the capital, and many people come here to travel during the New Year. Many individual business owners are open as usual to ensure they have food to eat."

Tang Zikai said this, pointing to the down jacket on the sofa.

"It's cold at night, put it on and I'll take you to dinner."

Dai Qing felt a little embarrassed when she saw the bright red down jacket, but she didn't refuse his kindness and put it on over her sweater. It was ankle-length and really warm.

In fact, ever since she started practicing the mental method, her ability to resist freezing has become much better than before.

The two walked out of the alley and strolled all the way to the clock tower without driving. From a distance, they saw colorful lights flashing and people coming and going on the street, making it very lively.

But most of the people who come out at night are young people, laughing and making a lot of noise.

"It's really lively here." Dai Qing followed Tang Zikai for a while and bought two candies, which were sweet and sour with crispy skin.

“This place has become a tourist attraction and it’s very successful.”

Tang Zikai looked at the bunch of fruits that Dai Qing stuffed into his mouth, hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and took a bite. This kind of thing that girls like tastes pretty good.

"Don't you like it?" Dai Qing turned her head and looked very reluctant, and couldn't help laughing.

It does look a bit weird to see such a big soldier holding a string of candied haws.

"It's OK, I don't eat it often."

Tang Zikai finished a string of candied haws in no time, then took her to the alley next to him and pointed at the lanterns hanging above.
"There is a copper pot hot pot in front. It has little lamb from the grassland. It tastes good. The key is that it is still warm when you eat it."

“The best thing to eat in this season is shabu-shabu.”

The two walked to the door of the store. The small shop was already full of people.

When the boss saw them, he came out and greeted them warmly.
"I'm so sorry, we're full. But two tables are almost finished and will be available in half an hour at most. Would you like to wait for a while?"

Business is good during the Chinese New Year, and the boss has a bright smile and a gentle attitude.

"We are a scenic spot with a large flow of people. The restaurants around here are similar to mine during this time. When you find a vacant seat, I will vacate mine as well."

"Okay then, we'll just wait here and the boss will make arrangements as soon as possible."

Eating something hot on a cold day will make your stomach feel better. (End of this chapter)
