Chapter 44
"Hi, are you two here to find a marriage partner as well?" Before they left the South Hall, someone came up to them. They were two Omegas, a man and a woman, both with polite smiles on their faces.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at Song Yizhu beside him and nodded. He was not interested in their conversation. There was no need to ask such obvious questions.
"Then... can I add you in my communication? We noticed you as soon as you came in. You are very handsome." Although it was Xu Zhiyan who started the conversation, the person in front of him directed the conversation to Song Yizhu who was standing next to him.
She is beautiful, and even with a serious face, she has a charming temperament. The slim-fitting uniform shows off her perfect proportions. She is a rare and excellent Alpha.
Xu Zhiyan's expression froze instantly, and a sudden bitterness spread from her heart, constantly spreading around. She tilted her head to look at Song Yizhu beside her, then looked at the two Omeges in front of her. She didn't know what to say, so she simply waited for her answer like them.
"No, sorry." Song Yizhu frowned and refused decisively. She didn't like adding strangers, and even less so those with obvious motives.
It was only four words, but Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little confused by the ups and downs she was feeling. Just by adding two friends, Song Yizhu had caused her such a huge emotional ups and downs...
Her eyes fell on Song Yizhu. The sun was shining brightly at that time, and the pure white shirt reflected the white light, which contrasted with her face. She just frowned, with no expression on her face.
"Why? Can't you just add me as a friend? You don't have a partner, so just chatting from time to time is fine."
The two people opposite wanted to say something else, but she spoke again, "Let's go."
The person next to her didn't react. Song Yizhu's eyes unconsciously fell on her, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's go, let's go now." Xu Zhiyan reacted and quickly took a step closer to her. Ignoring the gazes of the two people, he followed her and left.
"Wasn't it me who prayed for the marriage? How come your love interest came suddenly? You prayed for it without my knowledge?" Walking with her, Xu Zhiyan's emotions had not yet completely calmed down, and he looked at her with full of doubts.
"No."
"I didn't ask for peach blossoms, but they came here. It seems that this place is really amazing." Xu Zhiyan curled her lips and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. She just didn't know whether it was a compliment or a joke.
Song Yizhu didn't say anything, just walked in silence.
If it works, that would be great.
The two bought two more incense sticks and then walked towards the north hall.
In the courtyard of the North Hall is a pine tree with many lush green branches, standing tall in the yard.
Xu Zhiyan understood why she came here to pray for safety. After all, she was a military member and was bound to encounter danger. It was normal for her to pray for safety instead of seeking marriage or wealth.
I pray that Song Yizhu will always be safe, healthy, free from illness and disaster, and preferably happy, and it would be best if she could witness it.
Some people only ask for love and happiness when they pray for their own marriage, but when they pray for peace for others, they want them to be safe and happy all the time.
I pray, Xu Zhiyan, for peace every year.
The incense ash fell silently on the back of her hand, burning her skin red with heat.
Song Yizhu silently shook off the incense ash that fell on his hands and inserted the incense into the offering table.
"There are a lot of people in Fanxian Temple. Many seek marriage, many seek wealth, but the least seek safety." Sitting in the unmanned flying car that was leaving Fanxian Temple, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but talk about the previous trip.
"With a garrisoned army, there will be no danger, and naturally fewer people will seek peace." Only when people are in a sufficiently safe environment will they have the desire to yearn for greater happiness, and of course they will not care so much about what they have already obtained.
"That's right. You must be careful when you go on a mission and come back safely." They don't ask for safety, but she wants to ask for one for Song Yizhu. After all, she is prone to danger.
"Okay." These were just ordinary words of advice, but they made her heart soften. Perhaps she heard them too seldom, so even ordinary words were enough to make her happy.
"What's good about that? You should just say you agree to me." Xu Zhiyan was not satisfied with her attitude. She said "OK" very seriously, but she only replied with a "OK". Why was she so perfunctory?
"I promise you." Song Yizhu continued with her words, but it seemed like she was scolding someone.
"Promise me what?" Promise, promise, but don't say anything. What's the difference between that and writing a blank check?
"I promise you, I will be careful and stay safe." Song Yizhu repeated her words, his eyes fixed on her, serious and pious.
"You have to do what you promised, okay?" Xu Zhiyan was finally satisfied, but still wanted to remind him that only by doing what you said can you really agree.
"Know."
This time she was really satisfied and felt much better.
It took a while to get to the market, more than half an hour later. There were a lot of people there, but not to the point of being shoulder to shoulder. However, it was lively enough.
"There are so many people, it's very lively." Xu Zhiyan looked at the lively scene on the street with curiosity. There were many small gadgets on the stalls that she had never seen before, such as chubby little puppets, delicate and small sugar paintings, and fragrant snacks. She had not seen them for a long time.
"This is so cute." Xu Zhiyan's eyes were quickly attracted by a pile of carved small things. In the middle was a wooden little tiger, lying with its front paws folded, its mouth open, revealing two small fangs, looking very adorable.
"Miss, you have a good eye. This little tiger is carved from a century-old peach wood. There is another one here. They are a pair, but it is made of magnolia wood. It is not that old, only about 80 years old, but the quality of both is very good." Seeing that business came to him, the boss quickly cheered up and introduced them enthusiastically.
There are peach wood and magnolia wood. Is it such a coincidence?
Xu Zhiyan took the other little tiger handed to her by the boss. This one didn't open its mouth, but just stood majestically with its little head held high. It was equally beautiful.
"I want both of them. Wrap them separately." Xu Zhiyan handed the two little tigers in his hand back to the boss and asked him to pack them.
"Let me do it." Song Yizhu was about to pay the bill, but she paid first without asking how much.
"This is for you." After getting the two little tigers, Xu Zhiyan handed the majestic little tiger to her decisively.
"Aren't they a pair?" Song Yizhu took the little tiger and was a little confused. If they were a pair, why did they have to be separated?
"Yes, they are a pair." Xu Zhiyan nodded, his attention already focused on the little tiger in his hand, and it seemed that he had no time to care about her problem.
