Chapter 2 Bald Braised Egg
As soon as Jiang Jiu stepped into the villa, she saw an old man looking at her with a smile.
"Ms. Jiang, nice to meet you."
The old man nodded to her politely, led her inside enthusiastically, and asked the servant to bring drinks.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was inexplicably kind.
"Hello."
Jiang Jiu agreed obediently and turned to look at Fo Jiang with a questioning look.
"This is Grandpa Cheng, the housekeeper."
After Fo Jiang finished explaining calmly, he pulled Jiang Jiu upstairs.
Before Jiang Jiu could even sit down, he was taken upstairs. He could only turn around and wave to Grandpa Cheng and say goodbye politely.
"Grandpa Cheng is a very nice person."
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but sigh.
"He treats you as my future wife."
Fo Jiang glanced at Jiang Jiu with a barely perceptible hint of teasing in his tone.
"oh."
Jiang Jiu fell silent.
"Because of my master, everyone in my family knows that I have a red string of destiny."
Before Fo Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Jiu understood what he meant.
Maybe they all thought that Fo Jiang would definitely be with her?
"Wait, your master?"
Jiang Jiu was still thinking, and the word "Master" only floated through her mind belatedly.
"What's wrong?"
Fo Jiang turned around.
"fine......"
Jiang Jiu had a vague premonition that his master might have seen it himself.
The result was just as Jiang Jiu expected. The moment she pushed open the study door, she saw a familiar bald boiled egg.
When the man turned around, Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly turned black.
Isn't this the abbot? !
"The disciple is back."
Fo Jiang bowed respectfully to Abbot Lu Dan, while Jiang Jiu stood aside with a very subtle mood.
After all, Fojiang had been expelled from the sect before, and almost angered the abbot to death.
Now when she saw the abbot, she was like the yellow-haired man riding the ghost fire, guilty as a thief for having taken away someone else's favorite disciple.
"Very good girl."
The abbot's gaze fell on Jiang Jiu, and he nodded with a satisfied smile, giving Jiang Jiu the illusion that he had met his grandson's wife.
“…”
Jiang Jiu didn't dare to speak. She just stood there smiling, disguising herself as a robot, ready to answer whatever people asked.
"Master, you know I don't like it."
Fo Jiang's face turned cold on the spot, and his voice was filled with displeasure.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you."
The abbot laughed.
"But this red rope is too strong for my master, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to untie it."
The abbot's gaze fell on the two men's drooping hands, with a look of regret.
"This is why I am unwilling to accept you into the Buddhist sect. Although you are quite intelligent, the world is unwilling to let you go. I can only follow the will of heaven."
With every word the abbot spoke, Fojiang's expression grew uglier.
Jiang Jiu just looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, treating herself as a transparent person, for fear that Fo Jiang's anger would burn on her.
After all, she is not innocent in this matter.
She tied the red rope with her own hands.
"But you don't have to be sad. Our relationship as master and disciple will not be affected by this. You are still my disciple."
The abbot said this, sighing and waving to the two of them.
When she left the study, Jiang Jiu was still a little dazed. She didn't say a word after entering the room, and her face was confused when she left.
“…”
Fo Jiang pursed his lips beside her, obviously in a bad mood, and did not speak for a long time.
Jiang Jiu followed behind him until they reached the corner of the stairs, and then Fo Jiang spoke in a slightly cold voice.
"Thank you for your help, Jiang. I apologize for my inconsiderate hospitality today. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask me."
Fo Jiang acted as if he had paid for the goods in cash, which made Jiang Jiu feel uncomfortable.
However, the Fo Jiang in this illusion was indeed not very familiar with her, which was normal. Jiang Jiu quickly adjusted her mentality.
"No, I don't ask for anything."
Ginger Wine shook his head.
"It should be said that because of me, you seem to have no chance of entering Buddhism."
Fo Jiang's mouth corners turned down, but he just shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with you. This red string has been there since birth. It's not something you can decide."
When Jiang Jiu heard this, he could only laugh dryly, turned his head and said nothing more.
"You stay here tonight, and I'll take you back to school tomorrow."
Because Fojiang's house is so big and far away from the city, if I send Jiangjiu back so late, the dormitory will be closed.
There is no way, Jiang Jiu can only stay in this villa tonight.
"Yeah, okay."
Jiang Jiu nodded. It wasn't a big deal. It was just that he would definitely be teased by his roommates when he returned home tomorrow.
...
As dusk deepened, the manor was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there. Jiang Jiu lay alone on the soft big bed, rolling back and forth in restlessness, wrapping himself up like a silkworm cocoon.
Why!
She still hasn't found any flaws in the illusion, as if this is really the real world.
What happened today was also very mysterious. People as familiar as Fojiang and the abbot appeared in the illusion, as well as the red line of death.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."
She buried herself in the pillow in frustration, and gave up struggling with a muffled voice.
Jiang Jiu couldn't feel any strength in his body now, so there was no way he could break the illusion.
Just when Jiang Jiu was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Jiu staggered out of bed and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Fo Jiang standing there expressionlessly. She was so scared that all her sleepiness disappeared.
“…”
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and finally Jiang Jiu couldn't help but speak first.
"Student Fojiang, what's the matter with you knocking on my door in the middle of the night?"
Fo Jiang continued to stare at her. If Jiang Jiu looked carefully at his ears at this moment, he would find that the base of his ears had turned red.
The veins on his arms bulged out clearly from the effort he put into controlling his desire.
"Are you really not a reincarnated goblin?"
There was a subtle hint of shyness in his gentle voice.
"?"
Jiang Jiu was completely confused. What was going on with this person in the middle of the night? However, Fo Jiang always called her a fairy before. When he suddenly heard this name, Jiang Jiu thought for a moment that Fo Jiang had recovered her memory.
"Of course I'm not a goblin, I'm a human."
Ginger wine is helpless.
"Then why...?"
Fo Jiang took a deep breath and tried several times, but he couldn't say the rest of the words. In the end, even his cheeks turned red.
"Forget it, I was irrational."
Fo Jiang restrained himself and closed his eyes, trying hard to suppress his emotions.
He didn't give Jiang Jiu a chance to speak, turned around and left quickly, leaving Jiang Jiu alone with a confused look on his face.
Jiang Jiu, who was so sleepy that he couldn't find his way around, vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but he was too sleepy to think about it.
She forgot the name of the red string, it was called "Red String of Love".
