Chapter 298: It's just a feeling, no problem

This sight made Gu Nan's scalp tingle.

If there were any hair, it would have exploded.

What's with that happy expression on your face?

I didn't do anything!

Gu Nan didn't dare to breathe, his skin tightened all over his body, and he quickly climbed up from him and was about to leave.

Junyi easily pulled her away from him: "Why are you running? Isn't this your favorite posture?"

Gu Nan was horrified and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. But halfway through, he remembered that he was a ghost and could not sweat.

Oh my god, help!

Junyi is crazy!

Seeing her expression of being unable to accept the situation, Junyi sneered, "Are you scared?"

Gu Nan's neck stiffened. "Who's afraid? I'm not afraid. If the time comes and I break the precepts and fail to become a Buddha, I won't be the one!"

"Then why are you running?"

Gu Nan choked and thought, I'm just afraid that you will do it for real.

Gu Nan believes that he has a bottom line. As long as the process is decent and the breakup is amicable, there is nothing wrong with falling in love and having fun.

Especially in modern society, love is just a condiment. Who can't live without whom?

But Chunyi is different. He was born two hundred years ago when the dogma was strict and his temperament was old-fashioned. Even after returning to the secular world, he still abided by the rules. He had no intention of being greedy for worldly affairs. If he was not tempted, it would be fine to tease her a little, but if he was tempted, he would still tease her and he would not be able to get over it.

Gu Nan hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Junyi stared at her for a long moment, then suddenly sneered and let go of her hand, "Coward."

What a coward he is, Gu Nan didn’t dare to look at him and fled away.

Gu Nan walked quickly, extinguishing the last faint candlelight. There was no moon or stars tonight, and the whole world was pitch black.

Junyi lay on the ground, staring at the top of the tower motionlessly. He didn't understand love and thought for a long time but couldn't understand Gu Nan's words and actions tonight.

Why did Gu Nan's attitude change since he opened his mouth?

He could clearly feel Gu Nan's eagerness and love for him when they were close. Every time he surrendered, she was still not satisfied.

But why?

She had mentioned her wedding night many times, why did she suddenly not want to marry him?

He thought Gu Nan was just like him, the kind of person who would never give up once he made up his mind.

The sky gradually brightened with the morning light, and Kyoto City also woke up. The creaking sound of the city gates opening and closing was heavy and harsh. The refugees who had safely passed the quarantine period entered the city.

It won't be long before black smoke from cremating corpses begins to rise from the next hilltop, and the temporary shelters and open spaces outside the city will once again be filled with new refugees.

Gu Nan didn't know where he was busy again.

Chunyi came back to her senses, then slowly sat up with the help of the table, picked up the sewing basket again, and embroidered the unfinished wedding dress stitch by stitch.

Whether Gu Nan is willing or not, as long as there is a contract, he can always wear this wedding dress.

Gu Nan avoided Chunyi for a whole day, running here and there but never getting close to the watchtower.

It was dark, and she squatted on the city wall with her head in her hands, regretting, "If I had known, I wouldn't have asked that question yesterday."

It would be better if you just knew it in your heart. Now it’s awkward every time we meet.

The system said faintly: [Shouldn't you flirt with him less often?]

Gu Nan: "Don't talk nonsense after the fact, don't force me to scold you."

The system was weak: [...Humph, I'm just reminding you that our mission is to prevent him from falling into evil. It's not a big deal if he's tempted.]

Gu Nan sighed, "But now I hope he can successfully become a Buddha. How can a monk who is distracted achieve Buddhahood?"

She has such a bad temper. If someone respects her, she will repay him with respect. When Chunyi helps her, she softens her heart and hopes that he can get what he wants.

The system mutes the microphone.

Gu Nan supported her chin with her hair disheveled in the wind for a while, then stood up and prepared to continue her work. As soon as she jumped off the city wall, she saw Chunyi standing not far away, looking at her quietly.

My eyes and the tip of my nose were red from the cold wind, and I didn't know how long I stood there.

His eyes were dark, yet seemed to be flashing with fragments of light, with a hint of grievance and accusation.

The skin on the back of Gu Nan's neck tingled. Before she could turn around, Chunyi said, "Return to the temple tonight to rest, and set out tomorrow to eliminate the evil."
