When I got to the gate, I saw her open the car door and get in.
"Get out of the car!"
When Luo Min saw her chasing after them, he said to the driver, "Hurry up and go!"
Then he rolled down the car window and made a fist with his right hand, giving a thumbs-up gesture.
"Miaomiao, I believe in you! Keep it up!"
Luo Shimiao gritted her teeth, watching the smug face inside the car disappear through the window, her eyes burning with rage.
Xiao Lü noticed the contract was crumpled up and asked curiously, "What kind of variety show could make your face change like that?"
She took a deep breath and said, "Attend a meditation retreat, and for five days at that!"
"What is a meditation camp?" Its tiny, beady eyes looked puzzled.
"It's just sitting in meditation at the temple, listening to the masters chant sutras. There's no meat to eat and no cell phone to play with," he explained as he walked back.
"Ah! This doesn't look like a surprise, it looks more like pushing you into hell."
"That's right, I've been through this before, and I would never go again."
Xiao Lü: "Don't talk so soon. Why don't you check the pay first?"
Luo Shimiao unfolded the crumpled contract, and when she saw the amount, her thick, curled eyelashes trembled violently.
"It seems she was certain that I wouldn't refuse the pay, so she acted first and asked for my permission later."
“123…” Little Green landed on the contract and counted with its wings: “Wow, it’s seven digits!”
Its tiny eyes rolled around before it flew to her shoulder and nuzzled her fair neck with its fluffy head.
"I'll go with you. Could you share some with me, just a little bit?"
"Okay." She agreed without thinking. Without her phone and Xiao Lü, she figured she wouldn't last more than two days before running away.
"It's a deal." Xiao Lü was a little surprised, thinking she would have to persuade her to agree.
Luo Shimiao walked back to the stone table and sat down, poured himself another cup of hot tea, and rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips.
"Little Green, what's our plan to make these five days fun?"
"Sneak in your phone."
She slowly shook her head: "No, the contract should state that cell phones are not allowed. If I bring one in, I'll be in breach of contract." She took a sip of tea and picked up the contract to look through it.
Sure enough, it said that electronic devices, snacks, etc. were not allowed.
"Looks like you're the only one who can keep me company." She looked down and blinked when she saw the name of the temple.
Little Green flew up to the peach tree and stood beside the pink blossoms, asking, "Can I bring the playing cards in?"
"Playing cards?" Something flashed through Luo Shimiao's mind. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up. He put down the contract, stood up, and beckoned to Xiao Lü.
"Come with me."
"Okay, where to go, duck?" It flew up to her head.
You'll know when you get there.
Aunt Lin came out of the vegetable garden and happened to see her drive out.
"Miaomiao, where are you going? Dinner will be ready later."
Seeing her mouth opening and closing, Luo Shimiao rolled down the car window and said, "Aunt Lin, what did you just say? I didn't hear you."
"I said, we can have dinner later. Are you going to pick up Anian?"
"No, I'll be back soon after I go out for a bit."
"Be careful on the road."
She gave an OK sign.
......
Five or six minutes later, a gray-blue Lamborghini pulled up in a parking space on the side of the road.
Luo Shimiao put on his mask and got out of the car. He took Xiao Lü and walked back. After walking about 200 meters, they stopped in front of a store.
Xiao Lü nervously looked around: "Wow, what a fierce woman. If she gets photographed going in, it won't be good for your image, will it?"
"What is an image? Do I need one?" A carefree smile played on her lips as she stepped inside.
Half an hour later, she came out carrying a large bag.
Xiao Lü looked at the things in her hands: "So many, are you sure you can bring them in?"
"Yes, I've already figured out how to bring it in." Luo Shimiao quickly got back to her car and drove home.
......
From the treehouse, Xiao Lü saw a car not far from the gate and said to Luo Shimiao, who was swinging below, "You fierce woman, Xiao Nian Nian is back."
Luo Shimiao stopped abruptly and looked back: "Where? Where?"
As soon as the sound faded, the wrought iron gate slowly opened, and a black car slowly drove in.
She jumped off the swing and ran over.
"What's wrong?" Gu Nian had just gotten out of the car when a soft, fragrant "koala" was hanging on her.
"Aww~" She clung to his shoulder, sobbing, "My damn manager 'sold' me to the deep mountains, and I'm leaving tomorrow."
He frowned, picked her up, and walked towards the door: "What happened?"
She told Gu Nian about the variety show.
She looked up and saw the smile on the man's lips, and angrily pinched his arm hard.
"You're still laughing? That's too much!"
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Gu Nian put away her smile, pushed open the half-open door and walked into the house: "Your manager did something really inhuman, we're not going."
"It's a lot of money, I can't bear to part with it."
"I'll give it to you."
"No, this is different. Besides, what's yours is mine."
"What should we do then?" He freed one hand and rubbed the back of her head.
"If you really go, you'll not only have to eat vegetarian food for five days, but you'll also have to meditate. Can you really sit still for that long?"
A sly glint flashed in Luo Shimiao's clear eyes. She raised her head, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words.
After listening, Gu Nian's eyes flickered: "Is this... really okay?"
"It's not stipulated in the contract, so why can't it be? Just do as I say when the time comes."
He nodded, gently placed her on the sofa, sat down close beside her, and asked curiously, "How do you know there's a door there if you've never been there?"
“Who says I haven’t been there? My mom sent me there during the summer vacation of my second year of junior high. It happened to be this temple, and I stayed there for a full two weeks. Those days…” She sighed, “It’s better not to talk about those painful memories.”
Did you make Auntie angry?
She smiled sheepishly, pinching her index finger with her thumb: "There is a tiny bit."
"You naughty girl." Gu Nian stared at her moist lips, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Miao Miao, I promised to help you, shouldn't I pay you something?"
"You swindler!" Luo Shimiao flipped over and sat on his lap, propping herself up with her hands on either side as she looked at him: "Say it, what do you want?"
He slightly pursed his thin lips.
Her eyes sparkled with a smile as she pinched Gu Nian's lips: "Your pout is quite cute." Just as she was about to kiss him, she was interrupted by a cough.
They both looked at the same time.
Aunt Lin stood there awkwardly, pointing towards the restaurant: "Dinner is ready. Come and eat when you're done with your 'work'."
Luo Shimiao hurriedly got down and ran over to hook her arm around Aunt Lin's, saying, "No rush, no rush, let's eat together." She then pulled her towards the dining room.
After dinner, she went back to her room to pack her luggage.
Next to the suitcase lying on the ground was a gleaming fruit knife and nunchucks.
