Chapter 469 Xie Tingsheng X Wenxi Side Story (Part 4)
"Yes, yes, my little matter is nothing compared to Young Master Wen's marriage."
"Xie Tingsheng, why are you being so sarcastic today?"
Xie Tingsheng: It's really stupid of him to say these things to someone who's so clueless.
Xie Tingsheng became withdrawn.
"Oh, I see..."
Xie Tingsheng's heart tightened immediately. He had thought that Wen Xi knew his thoughts, but he did not expect that Wen Xi would say, "Are you afraid that I will find someone I like before you do?"
Xie Tingsheng: "..."
Silence prevails at Jiyu Temple tonight.
He shouldn't have had any expectations of Wenxi's thought process.
"See, I guessed right!"
You're kidding me!
"You... sigh, never mind..."
"Wait a minute, Xie Tingsheng, what do you mean by that hesitant way of speaking?"
"It's not very interesting. Aren't we supposed to be admiring the flowers?"
Wenxi found this person inexplicable. When he returned, he discovered that the ladies who had chatted with him so happily before no longer paid any attention to him.
Can anyone tell him what exactly happened here in just this short while?
With a satisfied look, the man glanced at the young ladies from the capital who dared not approach any further, then at Wenxi, who was scratching her head in confusion, and decisively dragged her away.
"Hey, Xie Tingsheng, I can walk by myself, why are you dragging me?"
"And didn't you just say you wanted to admire the flowers? Why did you bring me to a temple instead?"
"Enjoying flowers? Didn't we already finish that?"
Wenxi: ? ? ?
Now he has reason to suspect that Xie Tingsheng did it on purpose, deliberately picking a fight.
“Master Cimei of Ciyu Temple is a highly accomplished Buddhist monk. I’m also very curious about what my future partner will be like. Luckily, I have some connection with him, so I can take you with me.”
Master Cimei?!
He had heard of this Master Cimei; he was a kind-looking monk.
In Wenxi's opinion, this master was a true master, incomparable to the charlatan from the Imperial Observatory.
He had heard long ago that Master Cimei was quite mysterious in this regard, but he had never actually seen it for himself. Wenxi, on the other hand, was quite curious about what his future wife would be like.
Xie Tingsheng: Why are you asking him? I know, why are you asking me?
Master Cimei had been waiting for the two of them in the bamboo pavilion for a long time. When he saw the two of them dragging their feet as they arrived, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"It seems the two of you have a good relationship?"
Wenxi didn't understand the meaning behind Master Cimei's words, but Xie Tingsheng's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Master, we would like to ask you to help us with our marriage prospects."
"Marriage? No need to look, you two are a perfect match."
Xie Tingsheng: !!! Is this really something I can say?!
Even more reacting than him was Wen Xi: "You big monk, what nonsense are you spouting? Neither Xie Tingsheng nor I are gay!"
Master Cimei's gaze kept shifting between the two.
Really? I don't believe it.
"Master, please be careful with your words."
Master Cimei pursed his lips, speechless at someone's hypocrisy.
Look at how much their eyes are practically drooling! And they told me to watch my words, but am I not telling the truth? You two are bound to be a couple sooner or later, I don't even need to look at you.
"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Don't take it too seriously."
"Please write down your birth dates and times."
Master Cimei took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and handed them to the two of them. Wenxi felt that something was strange, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
After the two handed over their birth dates and times to Master Cimei, he glanced at their birth dates and times, and then looked at the two people opposite him.
Under Xie Tingsheng's threatening gaze, he swallowed back his words, "May you have a long and happy marriage, a match made in heaven."
He cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk about His Highness first. The person His Highness loves is a simple and honest person."
"Simple personality? How simple?" Wenxi asked him curiously.
"Sigh, to put it bluntly, he's just stubborn and simple-minded. 'Simple' is just a euphemism."
Wen Xi laughed until tears almost came to her eyes, "Xie Tingsheng, your future wife is quite special, hahahahaha..."
Master Cimei simply couldn't bear to look at the person's silly grin.
Silly child, stop laughing. The monk was talking about you. Do you think you're so funny?
"Master, Master, what about me? What about me?"
Master Cimei hesitated, "Um... it's yours, right? If I tell the truth, then Young Master Wen, please don't be angry."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be angry."
"Then I can speak freely, young master. I've heard that the person you'll love in the future is a rather sensitive... man."
Wenxi's mouth dropped open, looking as if the sky had fallen.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You old bald monk, are you kidding me? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"
Master Cimei: "..."
Who was it that promised me I wouldn't be angry? Do you look like you're not angry? Only His Highness the Crown Prince treats you like a treasure. Otherwise, with your stubbornness, who would even notice you?
You've started to nitpick.
"Ah, yes, yes, I misspoke."
Let's see if you'll still question me after you're with the Crown Prince.
"Xie Tingsheng, let's go, let's go. This bald monk doesn't look reliable at all. He's not even as decent as that charlatan national advisor from the Imperial Observatory."
Imperial Advisor: No, you were putting me down before!
"Master, I apologize for disturbing you earlier."
Xie Tingsheng hadn't expected Wen Xi's reaction to be so strong, but... was it really that hard for him to accept that she liked men?
Xie Tingsheng was preoccupied throughout the journey.
Even Wenxi, who was usually lively, became somewhat sullen, perhaps troubled by Master Cimei's words.
Seeing that a distraught person was about to fall into the pit, Xie Tingsheng was so frightened that he quickly pulled the person into his arms.
Wenxi looked up and bumped her forehead into Xie Tingsheng's chin.
"Xie Tingsheng, what are you doing? Let go of me. Don't you think our actions are a bit too ambiguous?"
Xie Tingsheng reluctantly let him go.
"Sorry, you almost fell just now, so I pulled you back."
Wenxi looked down and saw that there was a huge pit in front of her where she had been standing. If she fell in, her leg would be broken.
He felt a wave of fear wash over him.
"Thank goodness you were here, otherwise your leg would have been broken if you had fallen."
"Wenxi, were you just thinking about what Master Cimei said?"
Wenxi nodded. "How could I possibly like a man? He's absolutely talking nonsense."
But this Master Cimei is indeed quite mysterious.
His previous marriage predictions were quite accurate, which is exactly what Wenxi is worried about.
"What's there to worry about? Why would you care about someone's gender if you like them? You just like them, and it's fine to let things take their natural course."
