Chapter 306 Extra: May my beloved live in peace throughout his life.
The second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Jialan and Shen Xichuan took Shen Tinglan to the Liang family.
The two stayed there until they had dinner in the evening before returning.
After getting up early in the morning and working all day, Xu Jialan was exhausted.
She had wanted to go to the baby room to feed Shen Tinglan first.
But Shen Xichuan stopped him, “You go take a shower, I’ll do it.”
After the child was born, Xu Jialan wanted to breastfeed the child herself.
Babies who are breastfed are always healthier.
But Shen Xichuan frowned and said nothing.
The next day, there were several cans of milk powder in the baby's room.
No packaging or brand logo.
But he scribbled down a few strings of code.
Xu Jialan recognized it. This was the code that the laboratory used to mark the experimental subjects.
“…”
She knew that Shen Xichuan contacted many laboratories during her pregnancy.
There are both domestic and foreign ones.
But I didn't expect that he even prepared milk powder to prevent her from having to work too hard while breastfeeding.
So until now, Shen Tinglan has been drinking milk powder developed in the laboratory.
Xu Jialan nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a shower first."
"Um."
Shen Xichuan kissed her forehead out of habit.
…
the next day.
Xu Jialan couldn't help but sleep in again.
When she woke up, she found that the seat next to her was empty.
I thought Shen Xichuan went to the baby room next door.
Xu Jialan didn't think much about it and slowly got up and washed.
Then I changed my clothes and went to the baby room next door.
The door is open.
But there was no one inside.
Xu Jialan paused slightly and went downstairs.
When I was on the stairs, I vaguely heard Shen Tinglan's voice.
An Yuening sat at the dining table and ate breakfast, while teasing Shen Tinglan who was held stiffly in Shen Yankai's arms.
She looked up when she heard footsteps, "Are you up? Come over for breakfast."
Xu Jialan said good morning and walked over to sit down.
The housekeeper asked someone to bring the breakfast that Shen Xichuan had prepared in advance.
Xu Jialan discovered it the first time he took a bite.
She paused chewing, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then looked up and asked, "Brother, where is Achuan?"
Shen Yankai didn't dare to move, and after hearing this, he replied, "Xiaochuan went out. Let me tell you that he will be back later."
After saying that, he thought of something and added, "He told you not to worry. He was going to meet a few people, and since you weren't awake yet, he didn't call you."
As soon as I heard this, I knew it was Shen Xichuan’s instruction.
Afraid she would think too much.
That's why I gave such detailed instructions.
Xu Jialan drank some soy milk and said, "I understand."
She glanced at her phone and saw that Shen Xichuan had sent her a message and said the same thing.
But I said one more thing.
He might not be able to look at his phone for hours.
Tell her not to be afraid or worried.
Xu Jialan replied to the message and said he understood.
She didn't think much about it, just thought he went to the team or the laboratory.
…
at the same time.
Outside a suburban temple.
The center of the 108 steps.
There stood a man, his back straight and tall, kneeling and bowing his head in a pious manner.
Many people come and go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
When seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but stop.
His eyes turned to the man with a noble figure.
People passing by were all speculating.
What on earth happened that made this seemingly noble and unruly man willing to kneel and kowtow with every step he took, using up all his life's piety, just to ask the Buddha for a wish?
There was disbelief and incomprehensibility in the eyes of those people.
A monk in a cassock walked out of the temple, stood beside the stairs, and looked at the man below who looked familiar and very pious.
He clasped his hands together and murmured, "Amitabha."
There was a young monk nearby who also saw this scene. "Abbot, isn't this the person from yesterday..."
The temple received a large sum of money for incense and offerings yesterday.
The amount was so huge that it shocked them all.
Before they could react, the man left.
However, the woman next to him surprised them.
After all, there are not many people who can kneel and kowtow on each of the hundreds of steps to pray devoutly.
But no one could leave as deep an impression on them as Xu Jialan.
The amulet she took away was given to her by the abbot himself.
Before she left, the abbot called her and asked her one last question that left a deep impression on the young master.
"Donor, you knelt devoutly today to pray for the amulet, just to pray for your loved one's safety. What if the opposite happens?"
At that time, Xu Jialan tightly grasped the amulet in his hand and said only one sentence, "He protects the country and the people, and I protect him."
Stubborn and determined.
Later, the young master was very curious. Why did the abbot ask that question even though he clearly said that the woman had a connection with Buddha?
The abbot simply smiled and said, "People have their own missions to fulfill in this life, but humans are not gods and have their own emotions and desires."
"Gods and Buddhas are powerful, so how could they bear to let a blessed person's wishes go against their will?"
Amulets are not a panacea.
Nor can it truly ensure the safety of the wearer.
But the continuity of cause and effect is real.
The seeds they sowed were destined to bear fruit one day in the future and save them.
…
Time passes by little by little.
A little bit of sweat appeared on Shen Xichuan's forehead.
But his posture did not change at all.
It doesn't seem to hurt at all.
At the end of the stairs stood a young master.
After Shen Xichuan knelt on the last level.
The young master stepped forward and said, "Amitabha."
"Donor, do you have a wish?"
Shen Xichuan stood up with an unchanged expression, letting the sweat slide down his chin, and nodded, “Yes.”
"Then please follow me."
The young master leads the way in front.
Shen Xichuan followed.
The two walked into the temple, passed through the corridor, and came to a meditation room.
The young master knocked on the door before opening it.
"Please, benefactor."
Shen Xichuan raised his foot and walked in.
The person sitting on the cushion was the abbot.
The abbot smiled gently, "Donor, you are making a sincere wish, but is it for your lover?"
"yes."
"If I'm not mistaken, the donor is an atheist. If he has something to ask for, why would he come to pray to Buddha?"
Shen Xichuan's jaw tightened slightly, and his tone was calm, "I have been honest and sincere all my life. I was born in glory and prosperity, with fine clothes and delicious food. I have never lacked anything, and there is nothing I cannot get."
"For the past twenty years, I have put my life on the line, living up to my country and my people, and myself. But for the rest of my life, I have only one wish."
"What wish?"
"May my beloved live in peace."
Every word.
With great force.
What about atheists?
As long as she is safe, healthy and happy.
Even a man of destiny like him is willing to kneel and kowtow at every step.
Pray for her peace and well-being.
May she be healthy and happy.
