"No, it's just that I find it quite interesting. You know, this Bodhi fruit looks wrinkled on the outside, but the fruit inside looks like this. And it's like gambling on jade; you have no idea what the fruit inside will look like."
Su Ya looked at Ye Qinchuan and said softly.
"Legend has it that there was once an old woman in Zhangzhou who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist prayers year-round, burning incense and kneeling to worship the Bodhisattva without fail, throughout the four seasons. One spring, Zhangzhou was hit by torrential rains, causing flash floods. When the floodwaters reached the old woman's door, a Bodhi fruit suddenly fell from the sky, took root, blossomed, and the floodwaters bypassed it. While other people's homes were destroyed by the flood, the old woman's home remained safe. From then on, every household planted a Bodhi fruit tree in front of their door to ward off disasters and ensure peace."
Ye Qinchuan looked at Su Ya and said slowly.
"How do you know this story?"
“When my grandma was bedridden, my grandpa transplanted a Bodhi tree from another place. Unfortunately, it probably didn't adapt to the new environment, so the Bodhi tree didn't survive. I even looked up information about Bodhi seeds at the time and came across this story. So that's why my grandpa transplanted the Bodhi tree. Ya Ya, thank you!”
Su Ya knew what Ye Qinchuan meant by thanking her; it was because she had saved Grandma Ye.
"No need to thank me. I was just making a deal with you back then. And I've already received my payment."
Su Ya made this deal with Ye Qinchuan in order to find Momo.
Ye Qinchuan suddenly remembered what Su Ya had said when she was wearing the listening earring and playfully fighting with Momo: "This young lady is quite pretty, why don't you offer yourself to me?"
So Ye Qinchuan wanted to know Su Ya's opinion of him for the first time.
It used to be him constantly pestering Su Ya.
So Ye Qinchuan stopped by Daming Lake.
Why did it suddenly stop?
Su Ya asked.
Ye Qinchuan turned around and looked at Su Ya.
He was immediately attracted to her when he first saw her at the back gate of Kyoto No. 1 Middle School. At that time, it was just simple admiration. Later, he saved her when she fainted at Kyoto No. 1 Middle School. He jokingly said, "I will repay your life-saving grace with my body." As a result, he transferred a total of 20 million yen, including the money for Chinese medicine. Later, they met again in the Imperial River Garden. It turned out that her neighbor who had not lived there for many years was her.
So he had to believe that it was all fate's arrangement.
Unfortunately, he had no idea she was his fiancée at the time. If he had investigated earlier, would they have gotten together in the first place?
So Ye Qinchuan looked into Su Ya's eyes and said very seriously, "Ya Ya, tell me the truth, do you really dislike me constantly bothering you like this?"
"Why did you suddenly ask this? I told you not to bother me, but you still kept pestering me anyway."
Su Ya found Ye Qinchuan's words rather strange. Wasn't Ye Qinchuan someone who never cared about these things? No matter how cold she was to him, he would still stick to her like a leech, until Su Ya gradually got used to it.
However, since Ye Qinchuan had asked, Su Ya had no reason to hide anything. She then said calmly.
"At first, I did dislike you a little, especially after I found out you were my fiancé. I wanted to break off the engagement. Because I was young at the time and hadn't thought about marriage, such a distant issue."
“I know. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have just given me 20 million to get rid of me like that when I saved you at the back gate of Kyoto No. 1 High School.”
"Young Master Ye, 20 million is not enough. Many people can't earn that much in their entire lives. Isn't your appetite too big?"
Ye Qinchuan smiled but didn't say anything.
"Later, I saw Grandpa Ye talking to my grandfather about breaking off the engagement. At that time, I wasn't angry at all. In fact, I was glad that you brought it up first."
“Yes, if it were someone else who had their engagement broken off, they would have come knocking on our door long ago. I was even prepared to compensate your Su family, but you remained unmoved.”
Ye Qinchuan said with a hint of self-deprecation. Back then, Su Ya didn't take him, her fiancé, seriously at all.
“It’s not that I was indifferent, I just didn’t understand what feelings were. When I was little, my maternal grandmother and I depended on each other for survival. The best food I remember was the big steamed buns she made. Later, her health suddenly deteriorated. My biggest wish at that time was to earn money as soon as possible to take her to see a doctor, but I was too young then. No one would hire me, no one dared to employ child laborers. And my maternal grandmother’s son never cared about her. The only thing he did when he saw her was ask for money.”
As Su Ya recounted the past, Ye Qin suddenly felt an urge to hold her in his arms. If she hadn't been lost back then, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Su family, living a life of extravagant spending. With the Su family's doting on her, Su Qinghai would have found a way to grant her even the most extravagant desires. Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her.
"Ya Ya, if I..."
"Ye Qinchuan, I know what you want to say. You want to say that you wish you had met me sooner. Actually, that's not good either. Don't you hate rich girls who are all talk and no action? Since I arrived in Kyoto, I've heard quite a few of your 'great achievements'..."
"Ya Ya, that's because I hadn't met someone I liked."
"So your first blind date asked if you knew Goldbach's Conjecture, one of the three great unsolved mysteries of the world; your second blind date was in an anatomy lab; and your third blind date was at a racetrack, where you were made to throw up."
After Su Ya finished speaking, she looked at Ye Qinchuan and realized that only Ye Qinchuan could have come up with such a thing. She originally didn't know about these things, but her older brother, Su Linzhe, had found all of Ye Qinchuan's news articles, printed them out, and presented them to her. He had really gone to great lengths.
"Ya Ya, I just want those people to back down and give up on Grandpa's idea of arranging blind dates for me."
"Then why don't you ask me if I know these things?"
"Ya Ya, what's wrong?"
"Ye Qinchuan, I don't dislike you now. If I disliked you, with my abilities, you wouldn't be able to stay within a meter of me. You have to believe me, I have that ability."
Suya said seriously.
"But if you ask me if I like someone, I can't answer that either. I don't know what it feels like to like someone."
This was the first time Su Ya had discussed this issue with Ye Qinchuan. In fact, this question had been troubling Su Ya for a long time. She also wanted to know what her feelings were for Ye Qinchuan, but she just couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In her past life, she didn't have time to date in order to survive, so in this life she doesn't know how to accept someone's confession.
Ye Qinchuan fell silent after hearing this.
He always thought that Suya disliked him because of his persistent pursuit.
Unexpectedly, it was because she simply didn't understand what liking someone meant.
Suddenly, Ye Qinchuan grabbed Su Ya's hand and placed it on his chest, saying gently, "Ya Ya, I'm willing to wait for you, until the day you accept me."
