Chapter 59 Pear Grove
"The pear blossoms in Lingyin Temple are in full bloom, and nobles in the temple often pick them and take them back to make rouge. If the donor is interested, you can pick some, but outsiders say that the pear blossoms are tainted with the pure aura of Buddhism, and they will feel guilty after picking them back. The donor can add some incense money before leaving, which is enough to make up for it."
Xu Qingmeng secretly admired that this little monk could make the request for money sound so eloquent. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a sales genius.
"If you can pick them, you can add some money for the incense."
The little monk smiled and said, "After you finish your meal, go and have a look."
After a simple meal, the group walked out of the dining hall and headed towards the back mountain.
In the afternoon, the sunlight shines through the treetops, sprinkling on the ground in patches of light.
The pear blossoms sway gently in the breeze, and occasionally a few petals fall with the wind, dancing in the air like snowflakes.
The pear blossoms weigh down the branches with snow, and the orioles sing among the willow silks with golden threads.
"Mom, sister-in-law, it's so beautiful here!"
Yun Sheng ran happily in front, chasing the falling pear petals, it was very beautiful.
He smiled and said, "Go slowly, be careful and don't hit anyone."
Yun Sheng laughed sweetly: "No, mother."
As he was talking, he ran even faster. He was worried and hurriedly chased after him, shouting.
Only Xu Qingmeng and two other people were left there. Xu Qingmeng picked up a small basket and began picking fresh pear blossoms.
The pear tree was not tall, and she was of medium height. She could hook a bunch of branches with just a stretch of her hand. Her slender hands blended with the snow-white pear blossoms, and then she gently picked them up with a faint smile on her lips.
The corners of Gu Yunyi's mouth rose unconsciously, and at this moment he just wanted to draw this scene.
Yun Mo suddenly pulled Gu Yunyi's clothes and whispered, "Brother, I want to go to the toilet."
Gu Yunyi was helpless. This brat really knew how to pick the right time.
"Come on, I'll take you there." Gu Yunyi was helpless.
He walked over and said something to Xu Qingmeng, who nodded, "Okay, I'll pick flowers here and wait for you."
"Then be careful. If anyone comes, call me loudly."
Xu Qingmeng smiled helplessly: "What kind of ignorant child am I? Can I be kidnapped by someone?"
Gu Yunyi coughed twice and left with Yun Mo.
After a while, a figure walked towards the pear orchard and stood quietly not far away, looking at the person who was picking flowers wholeheartedly, his eyes full of a man's deep affection for a woman.
Xu Qingmeng didn't notice it at first. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the pear petals fell with the wind, as if it was raining white snow.
She opened her arms and spun around like a little child. She turned around and saw the man who had saved her that day standing there looking at her with the same unreserved eyes. She was very surprised.
"Sir? Why are you here?"
"I just happened to pass by, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but stop. I wonder if the girl still remembers me." Lin Yichen retracted his gaze and spoke slowly. His voice was as gentle as jade, with a barely perceptible tremor in it.
In fact, he had never thought that he would meet her in Lingyin Temple, and in this way.
Xu Qingmeng smiled calmly: "Of course, you saved me that day and saved me from suffering, I will never forget it, right?"
Lin Yichen chuckled, his eyes fell gently on Xu Qingmeng, and said, "Miss, you are too kind. What I did that day was just a simple favor."
Xu Qingmeng: "I was in such a hurry that day that I didn't even know what to call you, sir?"
"My name is Lin Yichen. I never thought that we would meet here again after that day. It is really fate."
Xu Qingmeng smiled slightly, but still kept a proper distance.
Lin Yichen never appeared in the original book.
Now that books have become real life and the plots have become more detailed, she can no longer rely solely on books as a reference.
To her, this is no longer just a book, no longer a paper man, but a real world.
Lin Yichen smiled slightly, that smile was warm and reserved, like the warm sunshine in spring, neither dazzling nor cold, just right to make people feel good.
Her eyes stayed on Xu Qingmeng. Although Xu Qingmeng had never been in love before, she had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run. She had also read a lot of novels, so even if she was thick-skinned, she could see something at this time.
Xu Qingmeng was also stunned. She had never expected such a situation to happen. In fact, she thought that even if she and Gu Yunyi were not together in the future, she had no plans to get married again.
Lin Yichen seemed to notice something strange about Xu Qingmeng, and quickly looked away.
The atmosphere between the two of them was a little subtle for a moment, so Xu Qingmeng stopped talking and turned around to continue picking flowers in her hand, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Peach petals danced lightly in the wind, and occasionally a few fell in her hair and shoulders, adding a touch of softness to her.
Seeing this, Lin Yichen said softly, "The girl and the pear blossoms complement each other beautifully."
Xu Qingmeng's cheeks turned slightly red, and she thanked him softly, "Mr. Lin, you are too kind. The beauty of flowers is beyond human power."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a stronger scent of pear blossoms. Lin Yichen said no more, but just stood there quietly, his eyes occasionally falling on Xu Qingmeng, then quickly moving away, as if he was restraining something.
Then he said, "Girl, what do you think of me?"
Xu Qingmeng was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Yichen to ask such a straightforward question.
"Mr. Lin, I am married. My husband treats me well, and so do I."
When Lin Yichen heard it, although he already knew it, it was so painful to hear it from her mouth.
Although Xu Qingmeng was very grateful to him for saving her that day, he was just a savior. Although she might not be with Gu Yunyi in the future, she had no plans to be with anyone else.
After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, he picked up the basket in his hand and left.
Lin Yichen looked at Xu Qingmeng's back as she was impatient to leave, and couldn't help but want to hold her back, but he felt it was inappropriate.
"Mr. Lin."
Gu Yunyi walked over slowly, stepping lightly on the fallen petals.
Gu Yunyi stood in front of him, his lips slightly raised: "Brother Lin, I am very grateful for saving my wife that day, but just now, I don't know if Brother Lin heard clearly that we are in love with each other. I hope Brother Lin will not do such a thing in the future and forget it as soon as possible."
Lin Yichen stared at him closely: "If I can't forget it and don't want to let it go, what can you do to me?"
Gu Yunyi sneered, a hint of gloom flashed across his brows, the corners of his lips raised to form a cold arc, and the whole person instantly exuded a cold aura.
"The Lin family is extremely powerful, and I am naturally powerless to fight back, but I will do my best to stop it. After all, Brother Lin may not care about a woman's reputation, but I will definitely not let my wife suffer from rumors."
