Hang a wishing note

Shi Nannan had no idea what Shen Xuyang was planning. Looking at his clear eyes, why did he want her forgiveness so much? And was her forgiveness that important?

In the end, Shi Nannan couldn't bear to refuse but didn't agree either. She just said, "I'll think about it and see how you perform."

Shen Xuyang heard that Shi Nannan did not refuse, even though she did not agree, which meant that there was still hope.

Shen Xuyang's eyes were smiling. He felt that in the remaining years of high school, as long as he performed better and worked harder, he might be able to get closer to Shi Nannan.

But he didn't approach her as a mortal enemy. He wanted to change into a better identity and leave a good impression on her.

"Okay, have you two reconciled? Shouldn't we go in now?"

Wen Yu and Chen Xing had been watching them for a long time. Seeing that they were in a good mood, they didn't disturb them. However, as more and more tourists came to Wutong Temple, there would be no good seats if they came any later.

Shi Nannan said, "I'm here. It's all your fault for wasting so much time. We could have gone in earlier."

Chen Xing said: "Yes, yes, blame us, but didn't you laugh too?"

Although Shi Nannan was blaming him, she actually had a happy smile on her face.

The four of them made a small fuss outside the gate, and now they finally remembered their business. After all, making a wish was the most important thing, and they had to occupy a good position.

Fortunately, Wutong Temple is large enough, and the main hall is directly opposite the front yard, where Buddha is enshrined and it is a place where one can burn incense, worship Buddha and pray for blessings.

On the right side of the yard there is a nearly hundred-year-old sycamore tree, and the tree is hung with red ribbons for making wishes.

At this time, tourists have already gone to visit the inner courtyard. There is a big bell in the courtyard, which will ring at midnight to receive blessings.

The four of them took red cloth strips and wrote their wishes on the table nearby.

Shi Nannan was the first to finish writing. It was not the first time she had done such a thing. She only had one wish every year.

Chen Xing hesitated to write, not knowing which one to write. Perhaps this was her first time going up the mountain to pray, and it would also be the last time. She felt that she had to write down the most unique and precious wish.

Chen Xing asked with a worried look on his face, "Nannan, you finished writing it so quickly? Are you going to post it now?"

Shi Nannan clutched her wishing note in her hand and whispered to Chen Xing with a smirk, "Not yet. I have to wait for Shen Xuyang to die first."

Chen Xing glanced at Shen Xuyang. He was still writing, but perhaps he couldn't put pen to paper.

Chen Xing asked, "Why do we have to wait for him to die first?"

Shi Nannan knew that Chen Xing didn't understand, after all, it was her first time here. Before she could explain, Shen Xuyang interrupted again, completely stealing her highlight moment.

Shen Xuyang held the red cloth in his hand and said, "Of course she wanted to hang it higher than me. The higher it is, the more effective it is."

After Shen Xuyang finished speaking, he looked at her as if he could see through all of Shi Nannan's little thoughts.

Shi Nannan said angrily: "You are the only one who knows, humph! Let's see how high you can hang it."

Shen Xuyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's wait and see!"

Shi Nannan watched Shen Xuyang hang the red ribbons. Shen Xuyang chose a good spot at a glance. Not only were there not many people hanging, but he could also hang his own wishing strip separately.

Shi Nannan watched Shen Xuyang hang the wishing strip on an inconspicuous branch and said with a smug smile, "You just hang it here? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

The place where Shen Xuyang hung the wish was not very high. Although he was the only one hanging on the small branch, it was an excellent position for him to be seen by the heavens. No red cloth could block the sunlight of his wishing stick.

Shen Xuyang quickly tied the wishing strip and turned to Shi Nannan and said, "It's best to be seen by everyone."

Shi Nannan stretched out her finger and shook it, saying, "You're hanging it so low, God can't see your wish. Who thinks you understand so much?"

Shen Xuyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you decided where to hang it? If you hang it in the sky, you'll probably have to take a plane, and it might fall before you even get into the sky. If you hang it on the top of a tree, you'll never grow that tall in your lifetime."

When Shi Nannan heard Shen Xuyang's sarcastic remarks, she almost got angry. She realized that she was now in a Buddhist holy land and must not lose her temper, otherwise the Buddha would think she had a bad temper and would not fulfill her wish. What should she do?

Shi Nannan gritted her teeth and said, "Humph! Get out of the way. I'm going to show my strength."

Shen Xuyang just made way for Shi Nannan and stood behind her to see how high she was going to hang.

Shi Nannan walked around the tree but couldn't find a suitable place. Almost every conspicuous branch was tied with red ribbons. Even if she could hang it, she would have to compete with hundreds of red ribbons for a tiny gap.

Shi Nannan climbed up the ladder and down again, changing branches one after another, and finally said dejectedly: "Why are there so many red ribbons on this tree? I'm almost paralyzed by red things. Why can't you leave a good spot for me?"

Shi Nannan regretted it very much. She should have come in earlier. Because it was New Year's Eve, there were more tourists here than ever before. Now she couldn't find a good seat.

Shen Xuyang walked over and advised, "I think you shouldn't think about hanging it too high. No matter how high it is, it will come at a price. Just hang it next to me. It's just right that we're next to each other, and I can block the wind and sun for you."

Shi Nannan turned her head and glanced at the place where Shen Xuyang was hanging. It was indeed a better place at the moment, except that it was not high.

Shi Nannan thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it, this is the only way. At least God can see it."

Shi Nannan couldn't find the highest good position, so she followed Shen Xuyang's advice and found a position where she could be seen.

Shen Xuyang asked, "Do you want me to help you hang up?"

When Shi Nannan heard this, she turned around, rolled her eyes at Shen Xuyang, and said, "Don't even think about prying into my wishes."

Shen Xuyang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't reach it."

Shen Xuyang didn't need to spy at all. He didn't need to think about what Shi Nannan's simple brain could write, and he guessed it right at once.

Shi Nannan heard what Shen Xuyang said and said, "Look down on me? I'm not as tall as you, but I'm not short either. This height won't be a problem for me."

The position where Shen Xuyang was hanging was easy for a growing boy like him, but it was not so easy for Shi Nannan.

Shi Nannan's level wasn't this high when she saw Shen Xuyang hanging just now, so why was it a bit difficult to beat him now?

Shi Nannan stood on tiptoe but failed to tie the knot properly twice and almost fell to the ground. If Shen Xuyang had not leaned behind Shi Nannan in time, she would have sat down on the ground.

Shen Xuyang's chest supported Shi Nannan's back, protecting her like a warm and safe mountain.

Shi Nannan was a little dazed for a moment, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and that indescribable and strange feeling came again.
