第一章 第一次吵架就合拍：关系占星到底是什么？/ Chapter 1 The First Fight But Perfect Match: What Is Relationship Astrology?

开学那天的风裹着梧桐叶的涩香刮过篮球场的时候，小夏正死死抱着怀里的篮球，指节因为用力泛出青白色。她上周刚转来这所初中，想靠打个半场篮球快速混进新班级的圈子，却没料到半路杀出来个扎高马尾的姑娘，抱着篮球站在她面前，护腕上的蜡笔小新图案被太阳晒得发白。 “大姐，这球场我上周就跟体育委员约了今天训练，”姑娘的声音清亮，带着点没消完的暑气，“你要打半场去隔壁场，别占着我这儿。” 小夏抬头看她，姑娘的额头上沾了点汗，碎发贴在脸颊边，眼神亮得像装了星星，半点没跟她客气的意思。她刚转来，正愁没机会跟人打交道，当下梗着脖子就顶了回去：“我先来的，凭什么我走？要训练你不会早点来？”

The wind carrying the astringent scent of phoenix tree leaves blew across the basketball court on the first day of school, and Xiaoxia was clutching the basketball in her arms tightly, her knuckles white from the force. She had transferred to this middle school the week before, and had planned to quickly make friends in her new class by playing a half-court basketball game, but she hadn't expected a girl with a high ponytail to appear halfway through, standing in front of her with a basketball in her arms, her Crayon Shin-chan wrist guard bleached white by the sun. "Sis, I booked this court with the sports committee last week for training today," the girl's voice was clear, with a hint of lingering summer heat. "If you want to play half-court, go to the next court over, don't take my spot." Xiaoxia looked up at her. There was a bead of sweat on the girl's forehead, her stray strands of hair stuck to her cheek, and her eyes were as bright as they were filled with stars, not the least bit polite to her. She had just transferred, and was worried about having no chance to interact with people, so she immediately retorted with her neck stiff: "I was here first, why should I leave? If you want to train, why didn't you come earlier?"

两个人越吵越凶，小夏的库里同款篮球差点砸到对方的脚，高马尾姑娘——后来小夏才知道她叫小雨，是篮球队的预备中锋——气得脸都红了，最后是路过的体育委员把两个人拉到办公室，班主任各打五十大板，罚她们这周每天放学去天文社帮忙整理器材，美其名曰“培养团队协作能力”。小夏抱着篮球站在办公室门口，看着小雨抱着球走的背影，还小声嘀咕：“什么人啊，凶巴巴的，我才不要跟她协作。” 一周后的傍晚，小夏抱着整理好的望远镜器材爬上旧教学楼顶楼的时候，才明白什么叫“不是冤家不聚头”。天文社的社长是个高二的学长，戴黑框眼镜，墙上贴满了手绘的星图，猎户座的腰带、天鹅座的天津四被标得清清楚楚。社长正讲着秋季星空的观测要点，小夏就看见门口探进来个扎高马尾的脑袋，看见她的瞬间也愣了一下，随即翻了个白眼，抱着个星图册坐到了离她最远的位置。 等社长讲完课离开，顶楼只剩下两个人的时候，小夏才从书包里掏出自己刚画的<mark>本命盘（Natal Chart）</mark>——她上周刚在网上查了自己的出生时间，照着教程画的。她正盯着自己太阳星座的位置出神，就看见一个脑袋凑了过来，小雨不知道什么时候走到了她身边，眼睛盯着她的星图，声音里带着点惊讶：“你太阳狮子座？” “你怎么知道？”小夏下意识地捂住了星图，话一出口才觉得不对劲，刚才吵架的气势全没了。 “你上周抢球场的时候，明明耳朵都红了，还梗着脖子装凶，不是狮子座是什么？”小雨嗤笑一声，把自己的星图也掏了出来，拍在她面前，“我太阳摩羯，上升巨蟹，上周吵架的时候我还想，你怎么装凶的时候手都在抖，原来是上升白羊，虚张声势第一名。” 小夏低头看小雨的星图，又抬头看了看她，突然觉得这姑娘虽然凶，但是眼睛亮得好看。她鬼使神差地把自己的星图和小雨的叠在一起，两个人的行星位置刚好对上，她眼睛瞬间亮了：“你看！我的太阳刚好合你的上升！还有我的金星在天秤座，你的月亮也在天秤座！这叫什么？这叫合拍啊！” 小雨凑过来看，两个脑袋碰在一起，发梢扫过对方的肩膀，她盯着星图看了半天，突然笑出了声：“难怪我当时看你虽然凶，就是想帮你捡你掉在地上的笔记本。我还以为我脑子有病，跟人吵架还想着帮人捡东西。” “我那是有意找茬！”小夏突然红了脸，小声嘟囔，“我刚转来，谁也不认识，看你长得好看，故意跟你吵架想认识你……” 空气安静了两秒，随即爆发出两个人的笑声，惊得顶楼休息的麻雀扑棱着翅膀飞远了。那天傍晚她们聊到太阳落山，从星图聊到篮球，从天文社的望远镜聊到下学期的期中考试，小夏觉得小雨虽然看起来凶，但是说话特别有意思，小雨觉得小夏虽然装凶，但是 actually 特别可爱，她们谁都没说，但是都下意识地觉得，这大概是她们这辈子第一次见，就觉得合得来的人。

A week later, when Xiaoxia climbed to the rooftop of the old teaching building with the telescope equipment she had organized, she realized what people meant by "enemies are destined to meet." The president of the astronomy club was a senior in high school with black-rimmed glasses, and the walls were covered with hand-drawn star charts, with Orion's belt and Deneb in Cygnus marked clearly. The president was explaining the key points of autumn sky observation, when Xiaoxia saw a head with a high ponytail poke in through the door. When the girl saw her, she was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes, and sat down in the seat farthest from her with a star chart in her arms. After the president finished his lecture and left, only the two of them were left on the rooftop. Xiaoxia took out the <mark>natal chart (Natal Chart)</mark> she had just drawn from her schoolbag — she had looked up her birth time online the week before and drawn it according to the tutorial. She was staring at the position of her sun sign when a head leaned over. Xiaoxia, whose name was Xiaoyu, had somehow walked over to her at some point, her eyes fixed on her star chart, and her voice was full of surprise: "Your sun is Leo?" "How did you know?" Xiaoxia subconsciously covered her star chart, and immediately felt something was wrong after she spoke, all her aggressive energy from the fight gone. "When you grabbed the court last week, your ears were red but you still puffed out your chest to act tough, what else could you be?" Xiaoyu snickered, took out her own star chart, and slapped it in front of her. "My sun is Capricorn, ascendant is Cancer. When we fought last week, I thought to myself, why is this girl acting tough but her hands are shaking? Turns out your ascendant is Aries, you're a master at bluffing." Xiaoxia looked at Xiaoyu's star chart, then looked up at her, and suddenly felt that although this girl looked fierce, her eyes were bright and beautiful. She subconsciously overlapped her star chart with Xiaoyu's, and their planetary positions matched perfectly. Her eyes lit up instantly: "Look! My sun is exactly conjunct your ascendant! And my Venus is in Libra, and your moon is also in Libra! What do you call this? This is called a perfect match!" Xiaoyu leaned over to look, the two heads bumping together, their hair tips brushing each other's shoulders. She stared at the star chart for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "No wonder when we fought, I kept thinking I should pick up the notebook you dropped. I thought I was crazy, fighting with someone and still wanting to help them pick up their things." "I was deliberately looking for trouble!" Xiaoxia suddenly blushed, and muttered softly: "I just transferred, I don't know anyone, and you looked nice, so I deliberately fought with you to get to know you..." The air was quiet for two seconds, then burst into the laughter of the two, scaring the sparrows resting on the rooftop to fly away with a flutter. They chatted until the sun set that day, talking about star charts, basketball, the astronomy club's telescope, and the midterm exam next semester. Xiaoxia felt that although Xiaoyu looked fierce, she was very interesting to talk to, and Xiaoyu felt that although Xiaoxia acted tough, she was actually very cute. Neither of them said it, but they both subconsciously felt that this was probably the first time in their lives they had met someone they felt such an instant connection with.

那天晚上小夏抱着手机刷占星博主的视频，才知道原来自己和小雨星盘里的对应，就是<mark>关系占星（Relationship Astrology）</mark>里最经典的吉相。她之前总觉得占星就是算命，是大人拿来哄小孩的玄学，直到那天把两个人的星盘叠在一起，看到太阳合上升、月亮合金星的瞬间，她才突然明白：原来所谓“合拍”，从来不是玄学，是两个人的能量本来就契合，关系占星只是帮她把这种看不见的能量，变成了看得见的星图。 第二天去学校，小雨看见她就递过来一瓶冰柠茶，是上周吵架的时候小夏随口说想喝的牌子。两个人站在走廊上喝柠茶，小夏跟她说自己查了一晚上关系占星的内容，小雨愣了一下，随即笑了：“我上周也查了，我还以为只有我一个人觉得咱们俩的相遇太巧了。” 她们后来确实成了全校最合拍的搭档：小夏是篮球队的替补，小雨是主力，两个人配合打比赛的时候，小夏的进攻总能在小雨的防守下得分，连教练都说她们俩的配合像练了好几年；一起参加天文社的观测活动的时候，小夏找星座，小雨调望远镜，效率比其他人高两倍；甚至一起写作业的时候，小夏的数学题不会做，小雨刚好讲到她懂，小雨的语文作文写不出来，小夏刚好能给她提供素材。她们还是会吵架，比如小夏打球太独不传球，小雨会凶她，小夏会委屈，但是吵完架之后，她们会翻出星图看，小夏的太阳狮子座想表现，小雨的月亮摩羯座想赢，不是针对对方，反而会互相道歉，下次配合得更好。 很多同学问她们为什么关系这么好，两个人都只会相视一笑，说“大概是命中注定吧”。只有她们自己知道，哪有什么命中注定，是关系占星帮她们找到了合拍的真相：原来你和有的人第一次见面就觉得合得来，不是巧合，是你们的星盘能量早就写好了答案。

That night, Xiaoxia scrolled through astrology bloggers' videos on her phone, and learned that the correspondences in her and Xiaoyu's star charts were the most classic auspicious aspects in <mark>relationship astrology (Relationship Astrology)</mark>.
