Chapter 43
[Song Yiyi, when can you come back?] After waiting alone in the room for a while, Xu Zhiyan sent her a message at the right time, urging her to hurry up.
[Right away.] Song Yizhu replied very quickly, as if she had been waiting for her message. Within two minutes, she appeared in the room with a set of clothes draped over her hands.
"A complete set?"
"A complete set." Song Yizhu nodded. Fortunately, Xu Zhiyan's underwear were all matched, otherwise she would have been embarrassed for even longer.
"Have you thrown away all the clothes I mentioned?" Xu Zhiyan took her clothes from her hand and did not check them immediately because she had already seen the red spot on Song Yizhu's ear and there was no need to tease her too much.
"Throw it away."
"Okay, thank you, let me change my clothes." Xu Zhiyan said as he was about to take off his clothes. She was so scared that she immediately turned around and prepared to go out with her body stiff.
"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes and put my pajamas back, okay?" As soon as she spoke, she stopped Song Yizhu's actions. She could only turn her back to her and wait for someone to change their clothes.
She was wearing a set of short-sleeved shirt and shorts, which was easy for Xu Zhiyan to change into, and she was done in no time.
"Okay, turn around."
"We don't seem to be from the same season. It's almost autumn, isn't it said that Alphas have a body temperature?" She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and with a coat, she could have worn autumn, which formed a sharp contrast with her short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
"It's just a different physique." Song Yizhu looked down at her clothes. She should wear cooler clothes in the summer. She was almost an out-of-season person. No wonder Xu Zhiyan said that. However, this outfit was just right for her and she didn't feel hot.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Zhiyan didn't dwell on this. Her outfit looked pretty good anyway.
Song Yizhu took her pajamas and went out again. His obedient figure and the shirt made him look like Xu Zhiyan's housekeeper.
After changing rooms, it was almost lunch time, so it seemed that we wouldn’t be able to go up the mountain today.
"It's all your fault. We can't go hiking today. What should we do in the afternoon?" Obviously, both of them got up late, but Xu Zhiyan put the blame on her without hesitation.
"There is a temple nearby. I heard it's very effective. Do you want to go and see it?" Song Yizhu did not object, but opened the guide he had prepared.
"What kind of temple? Is it for praying for wealth or finding love? Do you still believe in these things?" Xu Zhiyan hasn't been to a temple since he became an adult, which is about six or seven years.
“I have both, but I don’t really believe it.”
"If you don't believe me, why are you taking me with you? You won't get a good result if your heart is not sincere." Speaking of which, Song Yizhu doesn't seem to be short of money. After all, he is a marshal and should not be short of money. If he is not asking for wealth, then he is asking for marriage, right?
"Just go and take a look. If you don't like it, we can go to a market farther away." She naturally didn't believe it much, but the reputation there was very good, and people who had been there said it was very effective, so she wanted to take Xu Zhiyan to take a look.
"Let's go. Who said we don't want to go? Let's go to the temple first, and then go to the market." She had nothing to do anyway, so it would be okay to go to the temple. Besides, she was really curious whether Song Yizhu was going there to seek marriage.
Today's itinerary was set, and the two of them went to have lunch before heading to their destination.
"Fanxian Temple, what a magnificent building!" Before him was the temple's main hall, its exterior adorned with flying eaves and brackets, its high corners jutting out like wings poised for flight. The glazed tiles on the roof, weathered and mottled in color, still shimmered in the sunlight, leaving Xu Zhiyan in awe.
"Let's go in." Song Yizhu also followed her gaze and scanned the majestic building in front of them, but she didn't feel much emotion in her heart.
"You haven't told me what you are going to ask for yet. Now that you are here, you should ask for something." Walking into the temple side by side with her, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but be curious about her purpose.
"Please, please be safe." Song Yizhu paused, thought for two seconds, and then answered her. Since marriage was unattainable, and wealth was unattainable, he could only pray for peace.
Not asking for marriage or wealth, just asking for peace?
Xu Zhiyan's gaze fell on her, but he could only see her profile and could not discern anything from her expression.
"You two, the incense for blessing is on the candlestick on the left. Please buy it if you need it." The voice of the gray-robed elder sounded slowly behind them. His tone was calm and not scary.
"Hello, which hall should I go to if I want to pray for peace?" Xu Zhiyan bowed slightly to greet the practitioner behind him and asked politely.
"Pray for wealth in the main hall, for love in the south hall, and for peace in the north hall."
Xu Zhiyan looked at the several halls he mentioned and was about to thank him when he had already left.
"Do you want to go to the South Palace with me first? Or should we split up?" After thinking for two seconds, Xu Zhiyan decided to seek a marriage. What if?
"Let's go to the South Palace first." Song Yizhu went to the South Palace to seek marriage. His eyes fell on her, but then he looked away in just a moment.
It’s also good to pray for a good marriage.
"That's right, we are not in a hurry, so let's go to the South Hall first." Xu Zhiyan didn't notice her gaze and walked towards the candlestick first. There were plenty of incense sticks on the candlestick, so she simply bought two.
"I don't ask for marriage." The candlestick is located in the third hall. If Xu Zhiyan wants marriage, he can just buy one first, and then buy another one when he passes by the North Hall later.
"Just think of it as a prayer for me, okay?" Of course she knew that she was not asking for a marriage, she had asked about it when she came in.
Song Yizhu silently took the incense she handed over and said nothing more.
In the center of the courtyard of the South Hall is a huge peach tree, with golden and red ribbons hanging on the tree. There is a place for offering incense in front of the tree, and there are quite a few people in the courtyard.
"It seems to be really effective. So many people come here to pray." Xu Zhiyan looked up at the top of the peach tree. Maybe it was too high, and there were no ribbons hanging on it.
Song Yizhu didn't speak to her, but walked in front of the altar. The incense in his hand had burned a little and some ash fell out.
"Aren't you praying for marriage? If you don't come soon, the incense will burn out."
Xu Zhiyan looked down at the incense in his hand and found it was not as exaggerated as she said, but he quickly walked to her side and placed the incense in front of him.
In fact, she didn't know what kind of marriage she wanted, so she just asked the tree in front of her for a word, just asking to get what she loved.
Song Yizhu turned her head to look at the person beside her who closed his eyes devoutly. If she didn't pray for a marriage for herself, then she would pray for one for Xu Zhiyan, pray for a good man for her, and pray for a good marriage.
The two of them didn't ask for much, but after a while they both opened their eyes, put the incense in their hands into the offering table, and gave up their seats.
