Chapter 8

Zhang Jian's mouth was stuffed full, but it still couldn't stop him from talking, mumbling to Lin Tian.

"Get lost, you're the one who came from a monk's family, not me. I'm not a monk who believes in the emptiness of all things; I still want to get married and have children in the future."

After hearing what Zhang Jian said, Lin Tian's face immediately turned dark.

"Xiao Tian, let me be your girlfriend."

On the opposite side, Zhang Qian, whose mouth was also full of food, mumbled, looking at Lin Tian with a sincere expression, not like she was joking.

Since they started eating, both sides had formally introduced themselves, and Lin Tian knew that the person accompanying Ke Xin was called Zhang Qian.

Lin Tian, who had been eating crazily just now, had just stuffed a whole chicken leg into his mouth. Hearing Zhang Qian's words, he had just exhaled but hadn't inhaled, and accidentally got stuck in his throat.

"Cough... cough..."

His face turned red, and he quickly grabbed the water from the table and drank two glasses, which made him feel a bit better.

Zhang Jian looked at Lin Tian's current awkward appearance with disdain, while Ke Xin, who was pretending not to hear, continued to eat furiously, but her red face betrayed her.

"Don't get so excited."

"I won't run away in front of you, will I?"

Zhang Qian thought Lin Tian was excited and handed him a cup of water to comfort him.

Seeing Lin Tian's pleading look, Zhang Jian, trying hard to suppress his laughter, said, "Qian Qian, Xiao Tian already has a sweetheart, so you have no chance. But what about me?"

Zhang Jian put on what he thought was a very handsome smile and said to Zhang Qian.

"Not bad."

After hearing Zhang Jian's words, Zhang Qian's enthusiasm immediately waned, and she answered listlessly.

Lin Tian, looking at Zhang Jian's expression, laughed this time.

"Who is Xiao Tian's sweetheart?"

Ke Xin, seeing them talking so enthusiastically, suddenly interjected.

Zhang Qian, who had been listless just now, was pretending to eat, but her perked-up ears betrayed her.

Zhang Jian, who had been rejected, now looked like a plucked rooster. To get back at Lin Tian for mocking him, he was about to expose Lin Tian's secret, but Lin Tian, quick on his feet, stomped on Zhang Jian's foot without looking, making Zhang Jian shut his mouth.

"Ke Xin, I see that your forehead is red, but it lacks luster. Something is about to happen to you recently."

To change the topic, Lin Tian quickly read Ke Xin's fortune. Since absorbing a thread of evil energy, Lin Tian's divination skills had improved.

His mind gradually filled with information, as if it appeared out of nowhere without any warning.

He looked at Ke Xin's destiny and found that she had a great and noble fate, but the red glow in the middle of her forehead lacked the stunning luster that others had, indicating that something bad was about to happen. If not handled properly, her destiny might change.

"Xiao Tian, you can read faces?"

Zhang Qian's eyes sparkled as she stared at Lin Tian, making him feel like a shy housewife, not daring to raise his head.

"Xiao Tian, don't fool around. Your current expression is just like the con man in front of my house, except he hasn't said the part about giving money yet."

Lin Tian, seeing everyone's disbelieving faces, said nonchalantly, "Su Ke Xin, female, Han nationality, born in 1982."

"Bro, you really put in a lot of effort to pursue a girlfriend, didn't you? Gathering this information wasn't easy, was it?"

Zhang Jian said with an exaggerated expression, drawing the attention of the other diners.

"Ke Xin, is what I said correct?"

Lin Tian ignored Zhang Jian's talkative mouth. He had finally managed to change the topic, but Zhang Jian's words had revealed his secret. At this moment, Lin Tian wished he could change Zhang Jian's luck, making all his secrets exposed this year.

Ke Xin, who had been embarrassed by Zhang Jian's words, still managed to answer, "These aren't secrets anymore; Zhang Qian also knows this information."

Zhang Qian nodded lightly.

Lin Tian continued, "Does Zhang Qian know that you're not from this area?"

Lin Tian took a sip of water and slowly said.

Ke Xin, who had been blushing just now, looked shocked and said, "Xiao Tian, where did you get this information?"

"Am I right or not?"

Lin Tian didn't directly answer Ke Xin's question but continued to speak softly.

"Right, only I and my family know about this. It's not a big deal, so I didn't tell anyone."

Ke Xin looked surprised. She really couldn't figure out how Lin Tian knew this. Could it really be the mysterious "face reading" he mentioned?

Zhang Jian, who had been trying to mock Lin Tian, now had a chicken leg in his mouth, staring at Lin Tian with a look that begged for a beating. Zhang Qian also looked shocked.

"Listen to me, for the next three months, you or your family must be careful with everything you do."

Lin Tian's voice was very low, so low that only the four of them could hear. This was the first time Lin Tian had revealed a heavenly secret, so he couldn't be too loud.

"How can I avoid it?"

Seeing Lin Tian's serious expression, Ke Xin now believed him a bit and asked softly.

"I can only tell you so much. Saying more would be revealing a heavenly secret."

Looking at his dream girl's sincere face, Lin Tian wanted to reveal more, but the heartache he felt earlier still lingered, as if an invisible hand was choking him, making him feel a suffocating sensation.

"Xiao Tian, since you can read faces, can you tell me what my future husband will be like?"

Zhang Qian looked at Lin Tian expectantly, with a charming smile on her face.

To be honest, compared to Su Ke Xin, Zhang Qian wasn't as beautiful, but she was still a rare beauty. When she grew up, she would likely be a beauty that could cause trouble.

"I can't. I can only read one fortune a day; reading more would shorten my life."

"I don't want to die young."

Lin Tian couldn't bear Zhang Qian's expression and simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

"Xiao Tian, you guys keep eating. I need to leave first."

Since Lin Tian had warned her, she couldn't eat anything now, her mind full of this matter.

Others didn't know Ke Xin's background, but she was very clear about it. The Su family in the capital was a major clan, but for some unknown reason, her parents had come to live here.

Looking at the young man in front of her, Ke Xin sighed inwardly, "If what Xiao Tian said isn't a lie, he probably knows my secret."

Actually, Ke Xin was overthinking. Although Lin Tian had the ability of a face reader, his skills were still shallow, and he couldn't deduce such confidential information yet.

"Leaving already?"

Lin Tian looked at Ke Xin with surprise. From her eyes, he could see her thoughts and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why did I have to say so much?"

Just now, with his dream girl present, Lin Tian ate with restraint, not like the last time when he ate crazily. Especially if Zhang Jian saw him, he would probably get a nickname like "food bucket" soon.

"Ke Xin, I'll go back with you."

Zhang Qian wiped her mouth with a napkin and said softly to Ke Xin.

"Okay, let's go, Qian Qian."

Ke Xin nodded lightly to Lin Tian and Zhang Jian and left with Zhang Qian.

Seeing Zhang Jian still sitting there eating crazily, Lin Tian couldn't help but feel annoyed and whispered to him.

"You and Zhang Qian have a natural affinity; cherish it."

Zhang Jian, who was eating crazily at the table, suddenly stood up after hearing Lin Tian's words.

He wiped his lips with his sleeve and said excitedly to Lin Tian, "You'll be my son's godfather in the future."

He quickly chased after Ke Xin and Zhang Qian, who had just left, as if a pack of wolves was chasing him from behind.

Lin Tian licked his lips, looking at the table full of food, and swallowed, saying, "It's hard to have a son in this life."
