Master Wuyou said, "Since it is a calamity, how could it allow you to carry with you the memories and experiences of your previous life?"

Yu Tanqi was stunned.

At this moment, she suddenly realized.

So all her experiences in the 21st century were a disaster?

Thinking about it now, it really seemed like a disaster.

Orphans who grow up in orphanages have no parental protection and love, and even having enough food and clothing is a big problem.

The rats in the orphanage are really big, the nights are really dark, the summers are really hot, and the winters are really cold.

While her peers were still taking care of their parents, she had already learned to earn money to support herself.

If it weren't for the help from kind-hearted people in society, she would have almost not completed nine years of compulsory education.

Although life as an orphan is not easy and she will be bullied and ridiculed, there are still many good people in the world, and she grew up stumbling along the way.

Yu Tanqi has experienced all kinds of suffering except the pain of love.

She couldn't help but ask, "If I hadn't experienced so much suffering in my second life, would I still be able to come back?"

Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi, pursed his lips slightly, and tightened his grip on her hand slightly.

The girl's hand in the palm of my hand is soft and boneless, white and slender. You can tell at a glance that it is the delicate hand of a pampered girl.

He couldn't imagine what kind of suffering the girl he held in his hands would go through without his knowledge.

There is still so much suffering.

Just hearing these words from her own mouth, his heart began to ache.

Fortunately, she is safe and sound at this time.

Master Wuyou said, "Everything is destined by fate. Since the suffering has already happened, Miss Yu doesn't need to think about how things would have been different if it hadn't happened. Sometimes thinking too much is not a good thing."

The old monk in a brocade robe clasped his hands together and said in a low voice, "Miss Yu, you have come to the White Horse Temple with Prince Jiang today. Please come and burn incense to the Buddha and fulfill your mother's vow."

Your mother?

Yu Tanqi keenly noticed these words in Master Wuyou's words and seemed to be thinking about something.

Did Jiang Shi’s mother also come to the White Horse Temple to make a wish?

Master Wuyou personally separated out six incense sticks and handed three of them to Yu Tanqi. Yu Tanqi wanted to take the incense with both hands and pulled at Jiang Shi's hand that was clenched tightly.

At this moment, Jiang Shi finally let go of her hand.

Each of them held three incense sticks, lit them, knelt in front of the huge golden Buddha statue, closed their eyes and fulfilled their vows devoutly.

Master Wuyou said on the side: "You two can also make a wish to my Buddha. My Buddha will bless everyone who does good deeds and accumulates virtue."

Make a wish?

Yu Tanqi vaguely thought that in the 21st century, her wish was to have her own house as soon as possible, preferably a small yard with a garden and a pond, and then spend the rest of her life in peace and safety.

And this wish has already been realized by Jiang Shi in this life.

But in fact, before today, Yu Tanqi had another wish.

The girl closed her eyes, her eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, and finally she couldn't help but open her eyes to look at the person next to her.

The young man was dressed in green. Even when he was kneeling, his back was still straight, like a clean and neat green bamboo.

Yu Tanqi stared at his profile.

Compared to when I first met him nearly two years ago, his facial features are more profound and smooth, his lips are crimson and beautifully shaped. Whether you look at his bones or his skin, he is a handsome and unparalleled man.

It turns out that people who are beautiful in appearance have beautiful hearts.

Yu Tanqi couldn't help but curl his lips, slowly faced the Buddha statue, closed his eyes, and solemnly made a wish to the Buddha in his heart.

I, a believer, have no other wishes in my life except that Buddha may bless me and my beloved Jiang Shi so that I can be a couple for the rest of our lives, grow old together, and live in peace and prosperity.

After making the wish, she opened her eyes again and looked at the huge golden Buddha statue in front of her. The depression that had been pent up in her heart had disappeared without a trace.

Before the two men left the White Horse Temple, one of them gave Master Wuyou one hundred taels of silver as incense money.

Yu Tanqi also saw Master Wuyou, who had a rather old-fashioned and serious face, smile happily, and couldn't help laughing.

Master Wuyou smiled and said, "Although monks don't covet worldly things, they are still human beings after all and need to eat grains. The golden statues of gods and Buddhas also need incense and offerings. All of these things cost money, and even monks are not immune to this."

Yu Tanqi asked curiously, "What do the monks of the White Horse Temple usually eat?"

"Monks naturally only eat vegetarian food and cannot eat any meat."

"What would happen if someone was caught eating meat?"

"Monks who eat meat and fish are breaking the precepts and will be severely punished. If they break the precepts again, they will be considered unfaithful to the Buddha and will be stripped of their Dharma name, expelled from the temple, and allowed to return to the secular world, never to be allowed to enter the Buddhist community again."

"Is there no monk who can drink alcohol and eat meat without being expelled from the Buddhist order?"

"Of course there can't be such a monk."

Yu Tanqi hesitated to speak and blinked.

How could there not be?

Didn’t the monk Dao Ji of Lingyin Temple just drink and eat meat all day long?

Of course, she didn't dare say this.

After all, Dao Ji is not a real person, but a fictional mythological character.

Yu Tanqi looked at the tall body of Master Wuyou and thought that eating only vegetarian food and not eating meat would not help him lose weight.

As for the other thin monks in the White Horse Temple, it was because they ate too little.

If you eat more, you will never lose weight.

So you can’t just eat vegetarian food to lose weight.

After leaving the White Horse Temple, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi sat alone in the carriage returning to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

The atmosphere suddenly felt a little off.

Yu Tanqi lowered his head and felt a little embarrassed to look at Jiang Shi.

She remembered.

She remembered it all.

What she said last night and today, as well as what Jiang Shi said and did to her, are all still vivid in her mind.

Her face was so hot that she wanted to cover her face and hide.

Help.

She wanted to forget this memory.

Why would she say that?

If she had known about Master Wuyou, she would have come to see him earlier, so that she wouldn't have to worry for so long.

Yu Tanqi's heart was beating fast, and she secretly prayed that Jiang Shi would not "settle accounts" with her.

Jiang Shi is very gentle, he shouldn't be angry with her, right?

However, no matter how gentle a person is, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent when faced with sad words spoken to him by his loved one.

Jiang Shi looked at the girl in front of him who was looking down and pretending to be a quail, and slowly said: "Tan Qi."

Yu Tanqi's breathing quickened, and he pursed his lips and responded softly.

The boy's voice was gentle and low: "Who do you like?"

Yu Tanqi closed his eyes and clenched his fingers.

The sharp fingertips stung her soft palm, and she quickly let go.

It's time to cut your nails.

She was thinking in a mess.

But what is coming will come, and she has to face it.

"I like you."

"Didn't you say before that you didn't like me?"

"What do you mean 'before'? When did I say that? Why don't I remember it?" Yu Tanqi decided to never admit it.

Jiang Shi chuckled and reached out to gently lift her chin.

"Open your eyes and look into my eyes."
