Chapter 43 Life and Death
The servant brought breakfast to the table and said to her with a smile, "Sir, you are in the main hall of the temple, discussing scriptures with the eminent monks here."
When Shen Sangsang heard this, she thought of last night and nodded, then she fell into her own time.
The servant saw her standing there and seemed to have no reaction again.
Then he whispered, "Madam?"
Shen Sangsang reacted and looked at the servant beside her. She said nothing and walked towards the bathroom.
After washing up, she sat at the table and ate breakfast.
When she saw the bright sunlight outside, her tense spirit inexplicably relaxed a little.
After finishing the meal, Shen Sangsang went out for a walk at the servant's suggestion.
As she walked, she arrived at the main hall of the temple.
She looked over and saw Shen Yuehuai discussing scriptures with the abbot on the cushion in the main hall. He was dressed in light white casual clothes, looking fresh and elegant, and he stood out particularly in the golden and solemn hall.
Shen Sangsang stood in front of the hall door for a long time without moving. At that moment, Shen Yuehuai, who was communicating with the abbot in the hall, turned his head slightly and saw her at a glance.
Although his face showed no emotion, there was a subtle smile on the corner of his lips.
So, Shen Sangsang walked forward and into the hall.
As soon as he reached the threshold of the hall, Shen Yuehuai inside the hall spoke: "Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Sangsang turned her head away from him, with a look of anger and unnaturalness on her face.
Shen Yuehuai knew that it was because of what she said last night. The subtle smile on the corner of his lips became particularly obvious. He looked at her with tolerance in his eyes.
"Abbot Wang and I are discussing scriptures here. Come and listen."
Shen Sangsang knew that Shen Yuehuai loved reading Buddhist scriptures and the like. When he was in the old house of the Shen family, his study was full of Buddhist scriptures.
Shen Sangsang often felt that he was a very contradictory person. He didn't look like someone who could read Buddhist scriptures at all.
Generally, this kind of stuff is something that old people who have nothing to do waste their time reading.
But his time is very precious, and he is often busy with work and business until very late.
Shen Sangsang thought so in her heart, but after hearing his words, she still chose a mat behind him and sat down according to his posture.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her and asked considerately, "Is it comfortable to sit on the futon?"
The hall was so quiet that even his voice had a slight echo.
Shen Sangsang smelled the fragrance of bergamot in the hall, and she felt her heart calm.
She replied, "Very good."
At this time, host Wang on the side said with a smile: "Miss Sangsang, you are a blessed person."
Shen Sangsang remained silent after hearing this. After a while, she asked again, "Could it be that Abbot Wang can also calculate horoscopes?"
When she asked this question, Abbot Wang was stunned. After a few seconds, he burst into laughter.
Shen Yuehuai sat there, also smiling.
Abbot Wang added, "Although I don't know how to read horoscopes, I can still read faces."
"Then look at him."
Shen Sangsang glanced sideways, referring to Shen Yuehuai who was standing beside her.
Abbot Wang didn't expect her to say that.
Shen Yuehuai seemed interested as well and looked towards Abbot Wang.
This matter really stumped Abbot Wang.
Shen Yuehuai noticed the hesitation on Abbot Wang's face and asked, "Why? Is my appearance troubling you?"
Abbot Wang's expression changed subtly. He said, "Everyone has their own unique appearance. My judgment may not be very accurate."
Shen Yuehuai was very interested: "Tell me about it first."
Abbot Wang was still hesitant: "Your appearance is naturally good. You are a rare dragon and phoenix among men. However, you will face a great disaster in your life... This disaster may make you..."
"oh?"
At this time, even Shen Sangsang, who was sitting next to her, felt surprised. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect it to lead to such words.
She quietly clenched her hands on her belly.
Seeing that Abbot Wang had concerns, Shen Yuehuai added, "Just say it."
"This calamity is a matter of life and death for you."
"Yeah?"
The smile on Shen Yuehuai's face gradually faded.
Abbot Wang gave serious advice: "You should pay more attention to this aspect...especially your emotions."
Shen Sangsang was still listening to the abbot's words, but when Ta said this, her hands suddenly tightened, and then she raised her head and looked towards the abbot.
When Shen Yuehuai heard the abbot's last sentence, he repeated it again: "Especially feelings?"
The abbot also knew that his words seemed to have a specific meaning, and he glanced at Shen Sangsang.
Of course, Shen Yuehuai also followed the abbot's gaze and looked over. Shen Sangsang was sitting there with a slightly tense expression.
Shen Yuehuai withdrew his gaze again.
The abbot quickly explained, "Emotion encompasses many things. There's family, friendship, and many other emotions, not necessarily love. I just want you to pay more attention to your emotions."
A smile returned to Shen Yuehuai's face: "Abbot Wang, you know I don't believe in these things. I have always believed that when people live in this world, they control half of the chess game in many things."
The abbot smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. It is best not to believe."
Shen Yuehuai naturally lost interest in this topic, so he turned the topic back to the scriptures.
After this topic ended lightly, Shen Sangsang, who was sitting next to her, still hadn't recovered from her expression.
Shen Yuehuai, who was already discussing scriptures with Abbot Wang, felt that the person behind him had not moved since he sat there. He looked at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yuehuai's voice was very low, as if he was afraid of scaring her.
After Shen Sangsang reacted, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Shen Yuehuai looking at her.
She immediately shook her head to indicate that it was nothing.
Shen Yuehuai noticed that she was uneasy, so he reached out and quietly held her hand on her lower abdomen.
Shen Sangsang's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the slender hand on her lower abdomen with a slightly dull expression.
Shen Yuehuai said softly: "Don't think too much."
The expression on her face became more obedient and docile, and she nodded subconsciously, indicating that she understood.
Shen Yuehuai didn't know why, but he liked to see her bitter expression.
He found it extremely amusing.
He curled the corner of his lip and took his hand away from the back of her hand.
After the slightly cool touch left Shen Sangsang's hand, she lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the pattern of the cushion beneath her.
Afterwards, Shen Yuehuai was discussing scriptures with Abbot Wang, and she sat beside them to keep them company.
The sunlight outside falls among the leaves, appearing warm and fragmented, making the days here feel leisurely and comfortable.
Shen Sangsang sat on the futon, looking at the sunlight outside from time to time, and looking at Shen Yuehuai beside her from time to time.
She just felt that he, dressed in light colors, seemed to be covered with a halo today.
