427 FORTUNE TELLER

Senja's lips twitched while Xiao Tianyao snickered beside her. "Young man?"

"Give your left hand, young man." She repeated confidently.

Senja's eyebrows creased into annoyed expression. Which part of her that resembled a man? Sure, she was wearing her turban now, for the sake to cover her purple hair and instead of dress she was wearing simple clothes and grey robe.

But, everyone could see that she was a girl!

**What is wrong with this old lady?** Senja grumbled to herself.

"Give her your hand, young man." Xiao Tianyao snickered beside her that's awarded by menacing glare from her.

When Senja still didn't give her hand, the old lady chuckled and grabbed her hand instead. "Don't be shy." She said that made Senja rolled her eyes.

"She needs to know how shameless you are." Xiao Tianyao whispered in Senja's ear.

As a replied Senja stomped her feet right on the top of his, yet to her bad luck, Xiao Tianyao had seen it coming and avoid it effortlessly. His grinned was growing wider.

In spite of she was very annoyed by Xiao Tianyao, but looking at him laughing like that made Senja drew her own smile.

Meanwhile, like what Senja had guessed that the old lady has a problem with her sight. She looked at Senja's palm very close. Extremely close.

Senja literary could feel her breath fanning her palm. She bent very low as if she was going to kiss her hand and she stayed in that position for long time.

"Mmm, excuse me… are you done?" Senja patted the old lady shoulder after three minutes full she didn't move from her position and didn't say anything.

She hummed as an answer. Senja didn't understand what was that mean.

Tilted her head, she looked at Xiao Tianyao who was propping his head on his fist at the table, he looked lazy and attractive. Well, at least in Senja's eyes he looked like that.

"What is this?" Senja was mouthing at him without a sound, asking what she should do.

As an answered, Xiao Tianyao only shrugged innocently, "I don't know." He was mouthing back at her, yet his eyes flashed with mirth.

After another minute, finally the old lady sat straight, as straight as she could muster.

"It's bad, young man, it's bad." She said with panic laced in her words.

Senja raised her eyebrows, **Now, it's bad huh?**

"What is it?" Senja heard her own voice was far from interested by anything that she wanted to say.

"You don't have future!" She announced with dreadful expression and eerie tone.

Senja's jaw slacked open.

"I am a man without future… it sounds bad enough." Senja mumbled.

Beside her, Xiao Tianyao who heard her comment buried his head between his palms, but somehow his laugh escaped from between his finger.

Senja took that moment when he didn't see her to smack his thigh and made him to stop laughing.

"I am being very serious, young man!" The old lady's eyes grew wider as an attempt to show how serious she was.

"Alright…" Senja replied lazily.

"But, not only that!" The old lady cupped Senja's face, forced her to look at her right in the eyes.

Senja squirmed uncomfortable with the proximity. Her face and the old lady's face were only left three centimeters apart. It almost like she was going to kiss her.

"There is worse news for you." Her voice dropped until it was only a whispered.

Xiao Tianyao somehow leaned closer to her and popped his handsome face on Senja's shoulder, wanted to hear what the bad news.

"I don't see a woman in your life."

"And that's mean…" Senja drawled.

"You will not have a wife in your life."

Ok. That's it.

Xiao Tianyao threw his head back as he was laughing out loud. Senja had never seen him lost his cool and laughing like this.

Sure she loved to hear his laughter, but she didn't really happy if he made a fun of her.

"Shut up!" Senja snapped at him angrily that he completely ignored.

**Well, I have husband! Not wife!** Senja grumbled to herself.

"Okay, enough with me." Senja pulled back her hand from the old lady. "Try with him." Senja gestured her to give fortune telling for Xiao Tianyao as well.

With bright eyes she moved to Xiao Tianyao's side and sat beside him. This time, it was Senja who perched on Xiao Tianyao's shoulder.

Still laughing, Xiao Tianyao gave his left hand to the old lady willingly, it seemed all of this fortune telling things were amused him. It's good for him though, so Senja gave him her half hearted smiled.

The old lady did the same with Xiao Tianyao's hand, bent her body very low like she wanted to kiss his hand. But, this time it didn't take her a long time to straight her back.

She looked at Xiao Tianyao with dreadful expression.

"Okay, now what?" Senja chuckled when she saw her expression.

"This is bad news!" She howled again.

Senja rolled her eyes. "Bad news again…?" She snickered.

"What is the bad news?" Xiao Tianyao asked her politely.

She shook her head vigorously. "It's so sad. I can't tell you…" Her voice sounded broken.

"Maybe she will tell you that you will not get a man as your husband." Senja whispered at him, still irritated because she was assumed as a man, and received a knock on her forehead.

"Please tell me." Xiao Tianyao said calmly.

"Young man." The old lady started.

"Here we go…" Senja said in his ears with grinned on her lips

"You will die."

**Okay, this has gone too far.**
