A lifetime wish

Zhou Huaiyue's expression froze. He took a step back and closed the door again.

A voice came from the gate across the courtyard, "Brother Huaiyue, is Junior Sister still asleep? Aunt Chen is back, and it's time for dinner." The soft voice was very pleasant to the ear.

Unfortunately, she is a Green Tea, seemingly innocent but actually harboring ulterior motives.

Perhaps it was because women are naturally delicate and sensitive, Shen Roujiao sensed something unusual in the words and gave her a kind reminder, but in fact she was implying that she was immature.

"Come inside and come right over here."

"I'm here." Shen Roujiao opened the door and walked out of the courtyard with Lingxi following behind her.

His sight was fixed on Zhou Huaiyue without deviation, and his eyes lit up. What a face that looked like Nuwa showing off her skills.

The slightly curled ends of her long hair are bright and playful, her features are exquisite and charming, her eyes are as bright and energetic as stars, her eyelashes are long enough to easily fan her wandering mind, her nose is delicate and straight, and her voluptuous lips outline an alluring curve. She is indeed two points better than Wang Li, one point for her fair skin and one point for her overflowing self-confidence.

"Are you the junior sister?" The beautiful lady's surprised eyes wandered between Lingxi and Shen Roujiao.

She thought that her junior sister was about the same age as Lingxi, but she didn't expect that the junior sister was much older than her senior sister.

"I became your disciple late, so," Shen Roujiao pointed at Lingxi at the side of her body and gave the simplest explanation, "Shen Roujiao, hello." She stretched out her hand.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Qianqian, and I'm brother Huaiyue's childhood friend." Their hands touched lightly, and she retreated to Zhou Huaiyue's side, leaning her arm vaguely on his upper body.

!

Not the ballet one, the butterfly one.

Seeing her in person, Shen Roujiao finally understood that Zhou Huaiyue was telling the truth when he said Wang Li was okay. With such a pretty little butterfly around him, he would not notice any other beauty.

Unfortunately, her surname is Jiang, so he cannot give this beauty any face.

"Brother Huaiyue, I'm a little cold." Shen Roujiao hugged her arms. The newly changed cotton jacket was filled with thin cotton. The cold wind in the yard made her feel cold to the bone.

Her usual tone was full of intimacy, like she was acting coquettishly but also like she wasn't. The best way to defeat a green tea girl is to have a lighter tea flavor than hers.

Zhou Huaiyue's lips curled up slightly. Under Jiang Qianqian's gaze, he took off his coat and put it on Shen Roujiao. He put his hands on her shoulders and half-locked her in his arms, "Come in quickly."

Behind them, Lingxi walked past Jiang Qianqian and whispered, "Brother Huaiyue, call me Little Senior Sister too."

It hurts, she doesn't like Jiang Qianqian.

When Jiang's family came, Lingxi was looking for medical books with Zhou Huaiyue in the library behind the study. She wanted to read the herbal book about flower crystal grass. Just when she turned to it, Jiang Qianqian suddenly appeared from nowhere, came up and threw herself into Zhou Huaiyue's arms, "Brother Huaiyue, I'm back home, and I can finally see you. I miss you so much..."

She poured out her heart for five minutes before she noticed Lingxi standing in the corner. Zhou Huaiyue broke free from her arms and introduced her, "She is Lingxi, a medical student. She is Shen Roujiao's senior sister."

"I'm Jiang Qianqian, hello!"

Lingxi looked at her and thought, "That's not good at all. You are here to snatch Brother Huaiyue away. He is the lover of Junior Sister."

No matter how much you dislike it, you have to admit that Jiang Qianqian is really beautiful, especially beautiful. Lingxi is worried about her junior sister, afraid that she will be outdone.

......

Inside the house, Zhou's parents and Jiang's parents were chatting animatedly. When Shen Roujiao walked into the house wearing Zhou Huaiyue's coat, his eyes were fixed on her, and she was instantly stunned.

Zhou Huaiyue casually took the coat off her shoulders, threw it on the back of the sofa, and added two words, "I'm hot."

"Oh, this must be the Jiaojiao that Brother Chuzhuo mentioned, the one who opened a pharmaceutical factory with Huaiyue."

Jiang's father was Zhou Chuzhuo's close friend. He had just returned to China not long ago. The two talked on the phone in the morning. He learned that Zhou Huaiyue would arrive home in the afternoon, so the whole family rushed over. The Jiang family had been away for seven years to escape the catastrophe. After returning, they were filled with emotion and talked about many of their own experiences. They just mentioned that Zhou Huaiyue stayed in the countryside and partnered with others to open a pharmaceutical factory.

Before they could talk about their relationship, they were seen as two young lovers, and Jiang Qianqian had an unhappy look on her face when she entered the room later.

"Uncle, hello auntie. I am Shen Roujiao."

Inevitably, there was another round of compliments, saying that it was remarkable that she could open a factory at such a young age. When asked about her family background, she couldn't help but compliment her even more, saying that she started from scratch and was courageous and bold.

"This is her senior sister Lingxi, they are from the same Taoist temple." Jiang Qianqian pulled Lingxi's hand forcefully, appearing friendly, and interrupted her father.

"Taoist temple?" Mother Jiang grasped the key information.

Even when Wang Ma called them to eat in the courtyard, she still hadn't explained the difference between Taoist medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, or between Taoist nuns and Buddhist nuns. In short, Jiang Qianqian successfully changed the subject.

The big round table in the west room was filled with eight hot and eight cold dishes. On Zhou Huaiyue's left was Shen Roujiao, and on his right was Jiang Qianqian.

Mother Wang took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from a carton nearby and placed one in front of each person. "Little Jiang brought a box. Everyone, have a try. Only foreign-related hotels can buy this."

Shen Roujiao's eyes widened. She could actually drink Happy Fat House Water in 1981. The nostalgic taste made her feel so happy that she completely forgot about Jiang Qianqian who was sipping tea next to her.

"Brother Huaiyue, I can't pull you free." She acted coquettishly and feebly.

Zhou Huaiyue helped her to open it, and when he was about to help Shen Roujiao, she had already poured herself a cup and was looking at the transparent bubbles inside, swallowing her saliva.

"Let's raise our glasses to celebrate the friendship that allows us to meet each other after going through all the hardships." Father Zhou stood up with a Coke, and everyone followed suit. They clinked glasses, and others only took a small sip, but Shen Roujiao drank half the glass.

"Please take some food, take some food." Everyone ate, drank and chatted.

Jiang Qianqian saw Zhou Huaiyue helping Shen Roujiao pick up some food, and she leaned close to him and said coquettishly, "Brother Huaiyue, I want to eat braised beef, too."

"Look at Qianqian. We haven't seen each other for so many years, but she still likes to follow Huaiyue around, asking for this and that." Chen Zhenhua said, causing Zhou Huaiyue's hand, which was picking up food, to freeze in mid-air. He glanced at Shen Roujiao beside him, who was heartlessly showing off her half cup of Coke, as if she didn't hear him.

The beef was finally placed on Jiang Qianqian's plate. "Thank you, Brother Huaiyue, you are still so kind to me."

Since it was Zhou's mother who brought up the topic, they went on to talk about many interesting things that happened when the two children were young. Zhou Huaiyue didn't say anything, and Jiang Qianqian filled in various details. Her words revealed the affection between the two of them as childhood sweethearts, and Shen Roujiao ate and drank as usual, not affected at all.

Until Father Jiang asked jokingly: "Huaiyue, the pharmaceutical factory is in Yunnan, you don't really plan to settle down there, do you?"

Everyone could see that Zhou Huaiyue's mind was on Shen Roujiao, and he asked this question on behalf of his daughter. If he stayed in Yunnan, Jiang Qianqian would have no chance; if he returned to the capital, his daughter would still have hope.

"Brother Huaiyue, how could he bear to let Aunt Chen and Uncle Zhou stay alone in the capital? He is the most filial and obedient one." Jiang Qianqian spoke in front of Zhou Huaiyue and lifted him up.

"I want to bring my parents over there to take a look. The climate there is more comfortable than in Beijing. As for the future, she has the final say." Zhou Huaiyue gave his full cup of Coke to Shen Roujiao and placed the empty cup she had used in front of him.

The cards were laid bare and the air was quiet, as everyone was waiting for Shen Roujiao to express her opinion.

However, Shen Roujiao, who had been silent all this time, stood up and raised Zhou Huaiyue's cup of Coke, "I toast to uncle and aunt, wherever you are, that is our home."

As someone who was planning to buy two courtyard houses in Beijing, she was not worried about this problem at all and just said whatever sounded good.

The nice words moved Chen Zhenhua and Zhou Chuzhuo to tears, "Okay, as long as you are fine."

Father Jiang, who had asked about the matter, quickly chimed in, "They are all filial children. When can I drink at your wedding?"

"Brother Huaiyue, are you really going to marry a Taoist nun?" Jiang Qianqian's eyes were shining. The Huaiyue she had been thinking about not only fell in love with someone else, but also planned to marry a Taoist nun.

She lost to time and faith.

I really can't accept this.

"Taoists can't get married." Mother Jiang grasped the key information again.

Zhou's parents, who were just moved to tears, were also stunned. They really hadn't considered this problem. After all, when Zhou Huaiyue mentioned her, Shen Roujiao hadn't become his disciple yet.

The last time we met, we talked about the laboratory and never asked about anything else. I only knew that the prescription was given by the Taoist master, but I forgot that she had become a disciple. Although she was not practicing in the Taoist temple, she was a real Taoist priest on record.

Lingxi was about to speak when Shen Roujiao stopped her and smiled slyly, "Huai Yue just needs to worship me as his master, then it will be fine."

!

Everyone at the table was stunned. They took it seriously. Only Lingxi and Zhou Huaiyue were laughing.

Zhou Huaiyue looked at Shen Roujiao lovingly, and the helplessness in his smile turned into three light words: "Stop talking nonsense."

Asking him to kowtow to her and serve her tea was simply a fool's dream. It would never happen in his lifetime.

Shen Roujiao was not completely joking. She had thought about taking Zhou Huaiyue as her apprentice.

This way, she could pass the prescription to him; this way, she wouldn't have to go to the pharmacy in the middle of the night at the end of the month to get the prescription filled; this way, she could share all the secrets of the prescription.

It's really hard to keep a secret alone.

The topic went off track again. Lingxi answered the question seriously about whether Taoist priests can get married. Maybe she explained it too comprehensively. At first, everyone was worried that they couldn't get married, and then they were worried that they couldn't get divorced, because Lingxi said that Taoist priests don't get divorced, they only lose their spouses.

"How can this be possible? The law doesn't say that one must be locked up with one person for the rest of one's life. How can Taoism be so cruel? Brother Huaiyue, this is too horrible." Although Jiang Qianqian looked weak, her words carried a lot of weight.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if two people are not suitable for each other and can't get along with each other, but are forced to be tied together? Wouldn't they torture each other for the rest of their lives?

“I couldn’t ask for more.”

Zhou Huaiyue's four words were calm and serious, falling to the ground with a loud sound. He chose her firmly, without hesitation, without retreat.

Having said that, everyone understood that he really loved her, and Shen Roujiao's wavering heart finally settled.

She never thought that after her rebirth, someone would love her so persistently and be willing to risk his entire life just to be with her.

Even though her original intention of getting close to him was calculation, she loved money openly but loved him only in her heart.

But because of the words "I've been longing for it", Shen Roujiao didn't want to push him away again.

Let alone living again, even if you live several or hundreds of lives, it is rare to meet such a person.

She wanted to have him, just hers.
