"Keep it a secret."
"Oh, so you've even learned to keep people in suspense." Chen Lu went up to tickle her.
Liang Zhirou immediately took two steps back, maintaining a safe distance from him.
"You...you can guess..." She turned her face away and looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the distance.
Many tourists were climbing up the railing, one level at a time. Looking down from here, it felt as if they were looking down on all living beings.
Everything here was new and exciting to her: mountains, clouds, all sorts of tourists, and the person she loved most.
She remembered the phrase "ichi-go ichi-e".
Many people will only meet once in their lives, and the clouds that just passed in front of her will never appear in front of her a second time.
If the two of them were to return here many years later, every blade of grass and every tree here would surely have changed.
But no matter how many years pass, she will still remember today in the mountains, with a gentle breeze and perfect sunshine.
Chen Lu wasn't interested in these ordinary people. He looked at the girl's profile, pondered for a moment, and speculated, "To get rich soon?"
When this silly girl is silent, she looks like a literary young girl, and I wonder what silly questions she's pondering.
"No." The girl slowly shook her head.
Chen Lu was shocked. "You didn't actually wish to be smarter than me in the future, did you?"
If it actually comes true, that would be... quite scary.
Liang Zhirou couldn't help but chuckle to herself, then shook her head again.
"Then...how about we get married soon?" he asked tentatively in a low voice, trying to sound calm.
Liang Zhirou paused for a moment, then said, "No, not exactly."
Actually, she guessed half right, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Seeing that Chen Lu was still thinking, she quickly stepped forward and shook his arm, "Oh, just wait for the day we come back to fulfill our vow."
"Alright." Chen Lu nodded slightly.
It's rather boring to pry into everything.
It will be more interesting to reveal the answer later.
Wait a minute, what if it doesn't work? Wouldn't that mean the idiot is out of the picture?
He then suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The two planned to explore the mountaintop for a while before heading back, since it wouldn't take too long to descend.
There were more temples on the mountaintop than on the mountainside, and many more monks, which surprised Chen Lu.
"It looks like someone's drawing lots over there, shall we go?" Chen Lu pointed his chin toward a temple with lots of burning incense.
"Let's go take a look." Liang Zhirou was clearly very interested.
We walked side by side into the courtyard and used the familiar QR code payment method.
Chen Lu had walked this far and was too tired to even complain about the incongruity.
In the future, why not put a tablet here and let tourists tap on an electronic wooden fish? It costs 20 yuan to tap, and each tap will display "one merit point added" and provide positive feedback.
After receiving the fortune stick, Liang Zhirou held it in her hands, closed her eyes, and gently shook it.
She was actually a little nervous, because if she drew a bad lot, it would be better not to draw at all.
At least I didn't know about it.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the one that looked more pleasing to the eye, covered it with her hand, and slowly moved it away.
"The fifteenth is an auspicious day... a very lucky sign!"
Liang Zhirou's first reaction was to show it to Chen Lu, and Chen Lu smiled when he saw the girl's excited expression.
Silly girl has pretty good luck. I should have asked her to help me draw cards, otherwise I would have ended up with nothing after dozens of draws.
"Is it the fifteenth draw?" the somewhat elderly monk in front of him asked.
Liang Zhirou nodded respectfully, "That's right."
The monk rummaged through a box beside him for a moment and took out a slip of paper with pink background and black writing.
It says on it:
My intention lies in leisurely contemplation of the future, while my old friend lingers a thousand miles away.
Wild geese on the horizon carry news, and a touch of plum blossoms heralds the return of spring.
Just as Liang Zhirou blinked in confusion, the monk put his hands together and said, "This fortune slip means that if you have a pure mind, everything will go smoothly."
Wow, that sounds pretty convincing.
Chen Lu muttered to himself.
Of course, it was fortunate that Liang Zhirou drew a very auspicious lot, otherwise Chen Lu would have cursed and said that this was feudal superstition and anyone who believed it was a bastard.
Watching the girl beside him intently studying the fortune slip with a look of longing, Chen Lu suddenly recalled the excitement he felt when he studied constellations with the students sitting in front of and behind him during his childhood.
He wanted to give it a try too.
He took two steps forward, imitated the Taoist priest in the TV series, shook his hand twice, and then casually pulled out one.
Number 34.
A minor auspicious sign, also considered a favorable one.
Chen Lu was very satisfied. For someone like him who always gets lucky with the gacha pulls, not getting the worst possible draw was something to celebrate.
These few dozen yuan at least brought me a good mood, so it wasn't a waste of money.
The most bizarre thing was that Liang Zhirou was even more excited to see that he had drawn the best fortune than she had drawn the most difficult one. Her eyes crinkled with joy, and her happiness was palpable.
“I am number thirty-four,” Chen Lu said.
Upon hearing this, the old monk raised his white eyebrows, took out another slip of paper from the box beside him, and handed it to Chen Lu.
The couple studied each other's heads together like elementary school students looking at report cards.
This slip of paper is also a poem.
The crescent moon waxes again, the withered branches are even more vibrant, a smooth road stretches out, and one can look up at the blue sky.
"I want to pray for a marriage, for the two of us." Chen Lu deliberately pointed to Liang Zhirou beside him.
Liang Zhirou was stunned. Did she have to tell him in advance?
What was she asking for just now?
Peace and security? Career?
The old monk looked up and sized up the two of them, then let out a long sigh and said:
