Zuo You asked, "Are you afraid?"
Fu Shenzhi shook his head, and Zuo You said, "Then I'm not afraid either."
Fu Shenzhi seemed to smile, and all the emotions surging in his eyes were suppressed by him: "No, I'm afraid."
The man hugged her tighter. "If I were alone, I wouldn't be afraid. If the heavens destroyed me, I would destroy the heavens. If the gods destroyed me, I would kill them. I'm not afraid of retribution, nor am I afraid of being torn to pieces."
The sunlight came in from the window, shining on the two people who were hugging each other tightly after a romantic night in the house.
Fu Shenzhi's cold eyes softened in the sunlight. He said slowly, "But when it comes to you, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that my stubborn behavior will implicate you."
Zuo You said, "Uncle, I don't want to be your weak spot."
"You are not my weakness." Fu Shenzhi buried his head in her shoulder: "You are my armor, Xiaoyue. I have been reading ancient books recently, looking for information about the gods and fatalism."
Zuo You listened quietly. No wonder Boss Fu was so busy every day. It turned out that he was not only handling official business, but also looking for records about what Bodhi said.
"There's so little to find." Fu Shenzhi said, "After all this time, I've only found a few clues, the truth of which I don't know."
“But there is one thing I did read.”
Meeting Zuo You's puzzled gaze, Fu Shenzhi slowly said, "I saw in a fragment of a scroll that the founding emperor of the Bai Dynasty had a surname of Fu and a courtesy name of Shenzhi."
Zuo You's heart skipped a beat, as if she had thought of something. She wanted to ask for confirmation, but hesitated and didn't dare to ask.
She was afraid that the answer Fu Shenzhi would give was not the one she had in mind.
As if he could see what Zuo You was thinking, Fu Shenzhi said, "In the Great Qi Dynasty, the royal family's surname is Zuo, and the youngest prince's name is You, also known as Ayue."
Zuo You was shocked and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I also found something interesting." Fu Shenzhi lowered his head and bit his index finger, leaving a spot of blood.
Then his palm covered the back of Zuo You's hand, their fingers were interlocked, and the bright red blood stained Zuo You's fingertips.
The next moment, something slowly emerged from the wrists of the two people, wrapped with a small red rope.
Zuo You was shocked: "Isn't this the red string I bought from Bodhi?"
I remember that after buying them that day, both she and Fu Shenzhi were a little speechless. Although each of them took one, neither of them chose to wear it on their wrists.
After all, with such a crudely made red rope tied around the wrist, one looks like a fool no matter how one looks at it.
Zuo You put her piece of red string in her pocket and forgot about it. She never saw it again. She thought it had fallen off, but how did it end up on her wrist?!
Fu Shenzhi said, "You're surprised, right? I'm surprised too."
"I discovered that the two pieces of red rope are invisible on ordinary days. They only appear on the wrist when one side bleeds, and they can't be taken off at all."
Upon hearing this, Zuo You hurriedly tried it, and sure enough, the rope seemed to be grown into his skin and flesh, and could not be removed at all.
Fu Shenzhi gently grasped her restless hands and held them tightly before speaking, "I looked up ancient texts and found a magical weapon called the Mandarin Duck Red String."
"These two pieces of red string recognize their owners and only bind lovers. As long as a couple ties this piece of red string together, no matter how many twists and turns or separations they go through, there will always be a glimmer of hope that allows them to meet again."
"As long as one of the spouses is still alive, there is always a glimmer of hope to rekindle their relationship."
Fu Shenzhi said: "That Taoist sold us a treasure at a low price, and we owe him a favor."
