Chapter 82 Aren’t you curious about what I wrote?
To reach Nantang Temple, you have to climb up the mountain.
The stone steps are surrounded by iron fences. People on the right are going up the mountain, and people on the right are going down the mountain.
Outside the iron fence are endless mountains and waterfalls.
The crisp sound of water splashing brought a sense of auditory coolness to the hot-faced climbers.
Guangguang is the most energetic among the group, running around like a little monkey.
Then Zhao Xitao grabbed his collar and forced him to slow down.
Zhao Keqiong doesn't like sports on weekdays, and she was out of breath after climbing the mountain.
Mu Yuan stayed with her, handed her tissues and unscrewed the water bottle cap.
Just as he unscrewed it, Huo Min handed him the water he had unscrewed from the corner of his eye.
Mu Yuan paused and looked at him sideways.
The mottled light and shadow that penetrated the trees were scattered on his handsome eyebrows and eyes, half bright and half dark, half affectionate.
For no reason, Mu Yuan thought of the unknown kiss in the early morning.
My heart was beating faster than when I was climbing the steep slope just now.
"I'm not thirsty." She looked away awkwardly and went to support Zhao Keqiong again.
From the moment they had breakfast, she had been avoiding him for some unknown reason.
Could it be that the attack yesterday was too strong and scared her?
Huo Min frowned slightly, covered the bottle tightly again, and stood behind her silently.
Go up the last step and walk 100 meters forward to reach Nantang Temple.
The green glazed tiles surrounded by incense smoke carry the magnificent atmosphere of a thousand years of history. Beneath the glazed tiles, locust trees are everywhere, and the crisscrossing branches of flowers on the corridors cast dots of light and shadow, like delicate brocade patterns.
Nantang Temple is crowded with people and has a strong incense business.
Zhao Keqiong took a large bundle of lit incense sticks and began to worship sincerely from the beginning.
Mu Yuan and Huo Min followed behind.
In fact, Mu Yuan didn’t quite believe these things, but he had to obey his elders’ requests.
While kneeling down to pray, Mu Yuan quietly glanced at Huo Min, who was standing next to him with his hands clasped together, eyes closed, and praying devoutly.
Concentration has gone astray.
What is he praying for so seriously?
Seeing him slowly opening his eyes, Mu Yuan quickly turned around and put her hands together to pray for her own happiness.
It simply means: I hope everyone is safe and healthy.
After a round of worship.
Mu Yuan was helping Zhao Keqiong shake off the incense ash on her coat.
Turning around, I found that Huo Min was gone.
She frowned unconsciously and searched around subconsciously.
Zhao Keqiong saw this and her eyebrows suddenly curved: "Don't look for him anymore, he went to the inner temple."
Mu Yuan, who was caught, smiled awkwardly and wanted to explain that she didn't look for him, but after thinking about it, she simply gave up struggling.
"Xitao and Guangguang are also in the inner temple. Go find them there. Mom is going to the bathroom."
Mu Yuan's eyes moved slightly: "It's okay, I'll just stand here and wait."
Zhao Keqiong smiled and said, "There's a thousand-year-old locust tree in the inner temple. Since you're here, why don't you go and admire it? Don't you like plants?"
Zhao Keqiong really knows how to understand her preferences.
The word "millennium" itself is attractive.
Mu Yuan thought: Anyway, I went there to appreciate the trees... I'm not afraid to tell him when I see him.
Besides, Guangguang and Zhao Xitao are also here.
No matter what, it wouldn't seem like she went all the way to find him.
Zhao Keqiong urged again.
Mu Yuan nodded obediently: "Okay, then Mom, send me a message when you come out."
"Okay, go ahead."
Mu Yuan stepped into the wooden door frame of the inner temple and looked out. A thousand-year-old towering tree with a crown diameter of about 15 meters and a height of over 20 meters stood in the courtyard. On the branches were countless red cloths for praying, fluttering in the wind.
She was fascinated for a moment.
"Little aunt!"
Guangguang's excited shouting brought her back to her amazed gaze.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze passed the running light, and cast her eyes on Huo Min, who was standing tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and as handsome as the moonlight.
His pair of deep black eyes looked at me from a distance.
He had a piece of red cloth twisted between his palms. When the wind blew, she saw words written on it with a black brush.
But it was too far away and I couldn't see what was written.
Guangguang rushed over, she reached out to hug him, and was about to speak with a smile.
But Guangguang looked mysterious: "Aunt, let me tell you a secret."
Mu Yuan was surprised: "Oh? What secret?"
He put his bare little hand to his mouth and moved it close to her ear.
Guangguang's voice was childish and dissatisfied: "My cousin wrote a red ribbon and didn't show it to me. There must be a secret on it."
Mu Yuan laughed and pinched his puffy little face: "What kind of secret is this? If someone doesn't want to show it to you, you can't see it. Be polite."
Guangguang said, "Aunt, go and see. Your uncle will definitely be willing to show it to you."
Mu Yuan paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do you have to read other people's work? Why don't you just write one yourself?"
Guangguang: "Dad helped me write this: I wish Guangguang to be safe, healthy and grow up quickly!"
Mu Yuan touched his little head and led people forward.
She nodded slightly at Zhao Xitao: "Mom said you were here, so she asked me to come over and call you."
She didn't look at Huo Min, whose burning gaze remained on her face.
Zhao Xitao smiled and said, "We came in to take a look as well."
His eyes wandered between the two of them, especially when he saw Huo Min's appearance with three souls and seven spirits gone, he sensed something.
He picked up Guangguang and said, "Come here, Guangguang, didn't you say you wanted to watch people draw fortunes? Daddy will take you to see it."
He smiled at Mu Yuan and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take Guangguang inside to draw lots. Since you're here, why don't you write a prayer piece and hang it on the tree? It's quite effective here."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Huo Min again and hurried away with Guangguang.
“Eh…”
Mu Yuan wanted to call out to him, but they were running too fast.
Even a fool could see that Zhao Xitao wanted to create space for them.
The gaze from the side was so determined that it was hard to ignore.
She sighed inwardly and finally turned around.
The two eyes met, and the surrounding noise suddenly dropped.
The breeze brought with it the scent of cologne, from the bottle of shower gel in the bathroom.
The feeling of that kiss in the early morning, which was cool after washing and tinged with the scent of cologne, is still vivid in my mind.
Mu Yuan's heart was pounding.
"you……"
"you……"
They spoke at the same time.
Huo Min's dark eyes darkened: "You speak first."
Mu Yuan lowered her eyes slightly, and couldn't help twisting her thumb and index fingertips: "Mom just said she was going to the bathroom, she should be back by now, let's go."
"Don't you want to write one?"
Mu Yuan glanced at the red cloth in his hand that was fluttering in the wind and shook her head: "No, I don't have anything to ask for."
Huo Min's thin lips curled slightly, his eyes shimmering with deep meaning: "Really? I have a lot to ask for."
Mu Yuan glanced at the red cloth in his hand again, and the annoying wind blew the end up.
She still couldn't see what was written on it.
She replied halfheartedly, "Then you can write a few more."
Huo Min was amused by her and raised his eyebrows casually: "Aren't you curious about what I wrote?"
He didn't even show her his naked body, which really aroused her curiosity.
But this person had too many tricks, and she didn't want to respond.
I always feel like there's something fishy going on.
So he decisively turned around and left: "I'm not curious, Mom is still waiting for us outside."
The curvature of Huo Min's mouth dropped a little, but he didn't seem surprised.
After he hung the red ribbon on the branch, he looked at her slender back and followed her with big strides.
The cat didn't notice Guangguang running towards him from the corner.
