Time passed, and even on his deathbed, he still regretted not being able to find you.
So, all he could do on his sickbed was plead with God in a voice so weak it was almost inaudible, hoping to meet you in the next life.
Even just being an ordinary friend by your side is enough to make him feel content.
All he thinks about is that if there really is an afterlife, he will find you no matter what! Just to repay your kindness in saving his life and for recognizing his talent.
The abbot couldn't help but sigh, "So this is all due to the cycle of cause and effect! No matter which person you ultimately choose, there is no right or wrong!"
He added, "Besides, you owe Qin Shusheng a child, and you still need to repay this debt of gratitude!"
But you still insisted firmly, "But I don't love him at all! And why should I have to bear the bitter fruit of my past life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the host smiled slightly and said softly:
"Do you know that this marriage of yours wasn't something you prayed for in your past life?"
"To love or not to love is often just a matter of a single thought!"
"This is karma! So you still have to face it!"
Listening to the abbot's words, I fell into deep thought.
...
It's a new day.
The air on the mountain is exceptionally fresh, and every breath is invigorating.
The surroundings were quiet, and the birdsong in the woods could be heard clearly. Their crisp and melodious voices were like heavenly music, echoing in the tranquil atmosphere.
I sat quietly on the hillside, my gaze fixed intently on the rising sun in the sky.
It first revealed a small patch of orange-red edge, then slowly climbed upwards, casting its warm light upon the earth.
I watched it climb higher and higher, until it hung high in the sky.
Just then,
A series of light footsteps approached from afar.
I knew it was Yao Nan without even turning around.
Sure enough, the next moment he sat down next to me and gently picked up a coat and draped it over my shoulders.
Yao Nan asked with a concerned expression.
"Qianqian, is something bothering you again? Why are you spacing out all by yourself? Also... I haven't seen Lin Zhibai for a while. Could something have happened to him?"
I turned my head slightly and smiled at him: "Don't worry, he's fine, and I'm doing well too, so don't worry about me!"
Yao Nan frowned and sighed softly: "Qianqian, you can't keep running away like this."
And I don't want you to spend your whole life in this temple! You're still so young, you have a long road ahead of you.
You should bravely face life and pursue your own happiness!
I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, do I really have to spend my whole life on this mountain? But when I think about all the hustle and bustle of people and things down below, I feel lost again.
After a moment of silence,
I looked up at Yao Nan and said, "Let me think about it some more. We'll talk about the future later. Right now, I just want to stay here quietly for a while."
Yao Nan seemed to understand my feelings. He reached out and gently touched my hair: "Okay, but don't sit for too long. It's windy and cold up here. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"If you want to avoid Qin Shisheng, I know a rather secluded path down the mountain. If you ever want to avoid other people, you can quietly leave from there..."
I gave a wry smile and shook my head helplessly: "Forget it, I don't want to hide anymore... Actually, I know very well that no matter how well I hide, as long as they are determined to find me, they will still be able to find me easily."
Yao Nan stood up and patted my shoulder: "Alright, in that case, I'll go make you something to eat first."
"Get up and move around after sitting for a while, don't catch a cold."
I nodded slightly in response to my brother.
Less than half an hour later.
I suddenly realized that a figure seemed to be quietly appearing behind me.
Looking back, it turned out to be Qin Shisheng, who was tall and had long legs.
Behind him was Jiang Zhou, who was slender and weak. He sat on the ground, panting heavily. It seemed that climbing the mountain had exhausted him and he had collapsed on the ground.
He was surprised. Hadn't he just come down the mountain? How could he appear here so quickly?
Qin Shisheng was gazing at me with those deep, affectionate eyes.
However, faced with such gazes...
I chose to remain silent, unsure how to respond to his passionate feelings.
"I really can't bear to leave you here alone."
He was the first to break the suffocating silence.
Then Qin Shisheng said sincerely, "Let's go down the mountain and live a normal life, okay?"
You can go live in the house I bought for you before. If it doesn't suit your taste, I'm willing to buy you a brand new place.
At that moment, I thought about the fortune slip I had drawn and what the abbot had said to me.
"I'll think about it! You go eat first..."
I stood up and walked into the temple.
Qin Shisheng followed closely behind me, a faint smile on his handsome face.
"I'm starving too, I'll eat with you!"
When we sit at the dinner table,
Qin Shisheng's gaze fell on the bland, almost oily dishes, revealing undisguised disgust.
I silently ate the food in front of me.
Qin Shisheng hesitated as he picked up his chopsticks, unsure of where to begin with the food in front of him.
