Back in the private room, everyone found Xiao Ruoyan's expression amusing. What era are we living in? Are there still people like this?
After dinner, everyone left. Wen Zhicai went straight back to school, while Xiao Xu decided to go for a walk by herself, hoping to have a romantic encounter—or rather, love.
Pang Wenjun and Han Yun were preparing to take a boat on West Lake.
Xiao Ruoyan told Xu Xiu that she wanted to go to Lingyin Temple to pray for her grandfather's safety.
Xu Xiu didn't care where he went, as long as he could stay by her side.
The two hailed a taxi. When the driver heard they were going to Lingyin Temple and saw the two holding hands in the back seat, he introduced the place along the way, saying, "Lingyin Temple is the most effective place to pray for marriage. There is a Three Lives Stone inside."
"A real master?"
“Of course the young man is real, and I’ve even brought many guests here to fulfill their vows.”
“There was another guest who went to Lingyin Temple for the first time, and I also took him there. He happened to be in my car when he went to fulfill his vow.”
Hearing the driver's confident words, Xu Xiu was somewhat tempted. He glanced at Xiao Ruoyan beside him and thought, "Since Hanhan is praying for his grandfather's safety, then I'll pray for a good marriage."
Although I have a "golden touch" and am no different from the God of Love, it wouldn't hurt to ask for help since I'm here.
I took out my phone and searched, only to find that I had to chant a spell. What the heck? I immediately closed the page and looked at other pages, finally finding a detailed guide.
Turning his head, he saw that Xiao Ruoyan was also checking her phone, looking at it very intently.
Xu Xiu bought tickets directly through the official WeChat account. The two arrived at Feilai Peak Scenic Area. The temple was packed with people. They had been mentally prepared before coming, but they didn't know what it meant to be surrounded by crowds.
The two first went to the Medicine Master Hall and lined up to pray for their grandfather's safety.
After making their prayers, the two simultaneously said they needed to use the restroom, and then tacitly separated. After parting ways, they arrived at the Guanyin Hall from different directions, saying that prayers here are always answered.
More than half an hour had passed since they said they were going to the toilet, and the two of them tacitly avoided asking each other where they were. As a result, when they lined up to start offering incense...
The two bumped into each other by chance, glanced at each other, and pretended not to know each other in order to cover up their embarrassment.
After completing the entire process, as she silently recited her prayers, Xiao Ruoyan made a wish that she could be with the boy beside her for the rest of her life and never be separated.
Xu Xiu made the same wish, and to prevent Guanyin from making a mistake, they both added their names at the end.
After praying for blessings, the two went to Faxi Temple together, saying that it was also famous for praying for marriage. The two came to Faxi Temple again and silently recited what they had said earlier.
The two did absolutely nothing all afternoon except queue up to burn incense and pray for blessings...
After they finished shopping, it was already past 4 p.m. Xu Xiu glanced at Xiao Ruoyan and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat barbecue."
Xiao Ruoyan smiled gently.
"good."
I found a barbecue restaurant near West Lake. Just as I was about to order, a guy next to me was frantically ordering chives and oysters. Then I thought about today's day.
Xu Xiu felt that Christmas Eve was anything but peaceful.
After ordering some barbecue, Xiao Ruoyan and Xiao Ruoyan found a place to sit down. The boys passing by couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ruoyan a few more times.
The girls who were passing by couldn't help but glance at Xu Xiu more often.
Regardless of what others thought, the two only had eyes for each other, because today was their first Christmas Eve since they confirmed their relationship.
Before long, the owner had served all the dishes. Xiao Ruoyan was good at eating spicy food, so Xu Xiu ordered the mild version.
Xiao Ruoyan ate without any ladylike manners, her mouth covered in oil stains. Xu Xiu picked up a tissue and wiped it for her.
Because Xiao Ruoyan doesn't wear makeup, she's not afraid of wiping off her lipstick or makeup.
As Xiao Ruoyan ate a skewer of grilled rice cake, Xu Xiu watched her red lips moving constantly and unconsciously swallowed.
Risking being burned by the spiciness, he spoke directly, "Student Xiao..."
He had barely uttered the name when Xiao Ruoyan interrupted him, "Xiu... isn't calling me 'Classmate Xiao' inappropriate...?"
Xu Xiu: "......"
He thought to himself, "This is bad. This simpleton is starting to wake up. He'll probably be harder to fool in the future."
"Ahem, ahem, Ruoyan, I'd like to try that skewer of rice cakes you're holding."
Hearing that Xu had changed how he addressed her, Xiao Ruoyan was very happy and handed over the rice cake she had half-eaten.
Xu Xiu took the rice cake and looked at the bite marks on it. For some reason, he didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he felt a strong urge to take a bite.
Without hesitation, I took a bite. As for the sensation, I didn't really feel anything; I was already jumping around looking for water because of the spiciness.
Xu Xiu finished his water in one gulp but still felt it was too spicy. Xiao Ruoyan quickly handed him her water, and Xu Xiu took it and forgot to drink from a distance, drinking it straight from his mouth.
Xu Xiu was thinking of not returning the bottled water since there was still half left after finishing the bottle, but Xiao Ruyan took the mineral water back and started drinking it in small sips.
One was after the rice cakes, the other after the water...
After having barbecue, the two took a night stroll around West Lake. Although they were shivering a bit from the wind, their hearts were burning with passion.
When no one they knew was around, the two of them naturally held hands and took a walk together.
There was a vendor selling apples by the roadside. Goodness, they were 100 yuan each. Xu Xiu bought one without hesitation.
Xiao Ruoyan couldn't stop her.
Xu Xiu opened the apple packaging, wiped it with his hand, and then solemnly said, "Happy Christmas Eve, Xiao Ruoyan."
Then he handed her the apple and let her take a bite.
Xiao Ruoyan took the apple, took a bite, and then said the same thing, "Happy Christmas Eve, Xu Xiu."
Then he handed the apple to Xu Xiu, who also took a bite from the other side.
And so the two of them took turns saying the same thing.
They finished eating a big red apple, and passersby looked at them, finding it amusing. As a result, some couples started imitating them.
After finishing their apples, the two continued their stroll along the West Lake, enjoying their time alone together. But before they could walk any further, Jiu Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi called.
"Old Xu, hurry back to the studio, there are so many orders tonight, I don't know why."
On Xiao Ruoyan's phone call, Wang Mengqi also urged her to hurry back and help.
The two hung up the phone, smiled at each other, and ran hand in hand towards the taxi stand.
When they arrived at the studio, it was already past 9 p.m. Wang Mengqi looked at the two of them with a resentful expression, "We're working ourselves to the bone, and you two are just talking about love."
"If this keeps up, I'm quitting!"
Looking at Wang Mengqi's complaints.
Xu Xiu quickly brought out milk tea, fresh fruit, and even bought some cakes and desserts to share with everyone.
They also bought Wang Mengqi a Christmas apple for over 100 yuan.
Under the onslaught of delicious food prepared by Xu Xiu, Wang Mengqi finally smiled.
Xu Xiu has now discovered that Wang Mengqi is even harder to coax than Xiao Ruoyan, so he needs to find her a boyfriend quickly so that he can coax her.
He turned and glanced at Ning Bufan, deciding that it was better to keep the talent within the family and choose him.
