Chapter 195
The religious goods distribution center was packed with people, many of whom were there to buy religious items.
Pei Yi'an glanced at it and, without any instruction, walked to a side door.
A person dressed in a dark red monk's robe is kneeling on a cushion chanting sutras. In front of him is a huge Buddha statue, and a speaker is playing the sutras.
Perhaps hearing Pei Yi'an's commotion, the monks stopped chanting at this moment.
"Now that you've arrived, why don't you come in?"
Pei Yi'an was stunned for a moment. There was no one around, only herself and A-Ling.
He told Ah Ling to wait at the door, and then went inside.
"Did the master know I was coming?"
The monk avoided answering, but looking at Pei Yi'an's expression, he asked with a smile, "Have you come to fulfill a vow, benefactor?"
Fulfilling a vow? Fulfilling what vow? Could it be that she really came here before?
This is a side hall of Wenshu Monastery; even if you come here, you're still praying for academic success.
But she couldn't recall ever asking Pei Yuli for anything...
Pei Yi'an smiled calmly: "Yes, but I don't quite remember the promise I made when I fulfilled my vow back then."
The monk smiled, walked to the side, and pulled out a red token from somewhere. It must have originally been hanging on a tree, with his promise clearly written on it.
“You can take a look at this. You hung it up yourself back then. I figured it was about time, so I took the liberty of taking it down for you.”
Pei Yi'an took the things from the monk's hands.
I read it carefully once.
Upon seeing the above content, Pei Yi'an's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and her heart felt as if it had been stabbed a thousand times with needles, leaving it a sour and numb sensation.
May my darling's dreams come true, may they be safe and sound, and may they get into their dream university.
If successful, an additional 99,999 yuan will be donated as incense money.
The handwriting on it was done by her own hand; there's no way she wouldn't recognize it.
As for the treasure mentioned above, it definitely doesn't refer to Pei Yuli.
But it must be a treasure that I cherish very much.
Pei Yi'an wiped away her tears, and only now did she truly take the memory that Pei Yuli had mentioned to heart.
Pei Yi'an turned to leave, but the monk's voice came again.
"Your wish has been fulfilled. By fulfilling your vow as agreed, your next wish will be even more effective."
Pei Yi'an paused in her steps.
She had no idea whether her wish had come true or not.
"I didn't bring that much money with me today."
The monk smiled slightly, walked slowly to Pei Yi'an, and took out a QR code from his pocket.
"WeChat or Alipay are both fine."
Pei Yi'an's lips twitched, but she still scanned 99999 for him.
The monk then withdrew his composure, satisfied: "The exit is on the right."
"Furthermore, if you have any other wishes, they will surely become more and more effective in the future."
Pei Yi'an didn't stop walking; she turned and left immediately.
The monk watched Pei Yi'an's retreating figure, sighed, and shook his head.
He turned around and knelt back on the cushion, continuing to strike the wooden fish and chant sutras.
Xu Yihuan was also at the legal goods distribution center.
There were so many people inside that you had to go in and out from the left and right, shoulder to shoulder, that you could break out in a sweat.
Xu Yihuan didn't go inside, but found a secluded and quiet place outside to wait for Lu Anlan.
With nothing to do, he would pull up weeds and wander around aimlessly.
My gaze unexpectedly met that gentle and familiar look.
Xu Yihuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She subconsciously stood up, but stumbled. Fortunately, the guardrail behind her stopped her from falling.
"Aunt Pei?"
"What did you call me?" Pei Yi'an narrowed her eyes.
"What's wrong with Aunt Pei...?" Xu Yihuan was much more cautious this time.
She always felt that calling her "Mom" last time was too natural, as if Xu Yihuan should have called her "Mom" all along.
I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind.
"Oh, it's nothing. What are you doing here?"
"I have exams coming up soon, so I came here with my classmate to pray to the Buddha."
"You believe in this too?" Pei Yi'an finally felt that she had something in common with the young people, and couldn't wait to say it.
"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
As soon as Xu Yihuan finished speaking, Pei Yi'an smiled and was about to say something when Lu Anlan, who had returned empty-handed, jogged towards Xu Yihuan from a distance.
"Huanhuan, we couldn't buy it. You were right, we didn't have any."
Lu Anlan felt terrible; she wished she had come a few years earlier.
"What's gone? Is it that academic talisman?" Pei Yi'an asked.
Lu Anlan looked in the direction of the voice, and her eyes widened in shock the next second: "Pei Pei Pei... Director Pei?!"
Pei Yi'an smiled and nodded at her: "Hello, you must be Huanhuan's friend."
Lu Anlan looked at Xu Yihuan in disbelief, then at Pei Yi'an, and finally said hello with a shy expression.
"Is Pei Si also here to pursue his studies?" Lu Anlan asked.
She didn't understand why Pei Yi'an would be at Wenshu Monastery; she should have gone somewhere else.
"Ah, come and see."
"Do you want to continue shopping? Huanhuan and I are planning to grab a bowl of vegetarian noodles and then head downstairs."
Pei Yi'an paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go with you guys."
Standing to the side, Ah Ling tugged at Pei Yi'an's sleeve upon hearing this, wanting to remind her that they hadn't yet visited the Ksitigarbha Hall, which they wanted to go to.
Pei Yi'an calmly brushed her hand away.
He affectionately linked arms with Xu Yihuan: "Let's go."
She didn't know why, but she just had a strange fondness for Xu Yihuan.
A few of us went to eat vegetarian noodles. We originally planned to take the cable car down the mountain, but the line for the cable car was so long that we might have to wait for one or two hours.
So they returned the way they came.
A light drizzle started on the way down the mountain, making the road quite slippery.
Xu Yihuan and Pei Yi'an walked side by side, while Lu Anlan walked with A Ling.
Pei Yi'an instinctively let Xu Yihuan walk inside, afraid that Xu Yihuan might fall.
Pei Yi'an drove safely down the mountain and "casually" dropped Xu Yihuan and the others off at school.
On the way back to school, Lu Anlan was filled with emotion.
"Huanhuan, don't you think Director Pei treats you so well?"
Hearing this, Xu Yihuan's heart skipped a beat; her heart pounded, but she had to pretend to be calm.
"Really? Maybe she's just a nice person."
"Really? That's possible."
On my way back to the dormitory, I saw Tan Zhixu's group of roommates again.
Tan Zhixu led his team to a competition, but his roommate didn't go.
They exchanged greetings and then passed each other.
Lu Anlan's gaze remained fixed on their retreating figures, refusing to look away.
Xu Yihuan followed Lu Anlan's gaze for a couple of moments, seemingly lost in thought.
"Huanhuan, did Tan Zhixu tell you that my grandfather's birthday is coming up soon?"
"I said, June 15th."
"Yes, it's the old man's 70th birthday, we have to make it a grand occasion."
This reminded Xu Yihuan that she hadn't had time to prepare a gift for the old man.
You gave me a painting last time, so how about giving me something practical this time?
