Chapter 9(1/2)
Kang Nai stood on the stairs, wondering where to ask:
What did Xie Lanshen take her to the temple for?
It was him who brought her back from the viaduct last night?
"The clothes are here." Xie Lanshen's expression was unusual, and he stepped closer to the shopping bag on the coffee table and handed it to her.
Jiang Nai took it with a slow beat, and his eyes floated back to the shirt he was wearing from his slender and cold wrist bones.
It was obviously Xie Lanshen's clothes. They were too wide for her, and they were not decent. There were two buttons on the top and they were not tied properly. The lower edge of the corner of the clothes barely covered the base of her legs. The allergic reaction of the white skin had been cured and there was no trace left.
At this moment, this unkempt appearance stood in front of the man, and Jiang Nai wanted to drill a crack from the ground and hide in.
On the side of her neck under her black hair, she quietly climbed up a touch of smudged redness, changed the subject awkwardly, and asked, "Where is my agent?"
“In the hotel.”
Jiang Nai continued to test for a while: "Then my clothes..."
"The secretary changed it."
Xie Lanshen's most realistic reaction when he saw her awakening, probably because he couldn't remember last night, so he asked him this without any warning.
When he answered every question, the ink color in his eyes floated, and he looked at it quietly so that she could not resist it.
Jiang Nai didn't open his eyes first, and said very gently.
-
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Xie Lanshen picked the most low-key car from the garage and took her out of the villa.
When he travels like him, he is a big shot who is accompanied by bodyguards and should rarely drive in person.
While sitting on the passenger seat, Jiang Nai suddenly asked, "Do you want to change me to drive?"
Xie Lanshen looked at her eyes and pointed to the steering wheel: "I've taken the certificate."
“Help me navigate.”
Xie Lanshen did not give it to her, and after a moment he said seriously: "Try my technique."
As soon as Jiang Nai lit up the screen, his fingertips suddenly stopped and never fell down.
This can easily make adults think wrongly, even if they may not have the meaning of this.
Jiang Nai's eyelashes drooped half of the curve, and he carefully held his mobile phone and studied it for a while. Finally, he had a navigation of a temple with the most incense in Sicheng.
"Is there something wrong with you going to the temple?"
Xie Lanshen whispered lightly: "Store around casually."
OK, then just treat it as a vacation for yourself and just go around with him.
No one took the initiative to speak next, only the navigation prompt sounded in the car.
Jiang Nai sat on the passenger seat and looked at the scenery outside the window. When she was with Xie Lanshen, she never felt bored and dull. Instead, she felt an indescribable calmness in her heart.
Even if he hadn't seen each other for many years and had completely become unfamiliar with each other's life circles, she could not help but not ask.
However, the sense of security that Xie Lanshen brought to her was something that no one in this world could replace.
Today is not a holiday, and there are very few pilgrims coming to the temple.
Jiang Nai didn't have to worry about being recognized by passers-by. After getting off the bus, she followed Xie Lanshen along the stone road for about ten minutes, and soon saw a tall palace temple with a quiet environment.
Xie Lanshen didn't know the route he drove, but he was very familiar with this temple.
Jiang Nai asked him: "Do you often come here to stroll around?"
Xie Lanshen closed her arms to her waist in case of being touched by passers-by: "I came here once a few years ago."
After saying that, he took her into the main hall of the temple.
Xie Lanshen has been here and also met the host here, when he went to add money for sesame oil.
Jiang Nai looked around curiously, and then he saw the big tree in the courtyard. It was very cold in winter, and the branches and leaves were withered yellow. There were red wooden signs tied on it. When he got closer, he saw that they all believed in men and women prayed for blessings.
Jiang Nai looked at it for a while and turned around and happened to see Xie Lanshen waved to her.
"come over."
...
Xie Lanshen took her to the side hall, and four statues of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas were lined up in a row.
He stood by the table, wearing the light blue suit she bought two days ago. Without a tie, he looked a little casual. There was light from outside the window, and he could see the misty incense smoke in the air.
And he was extremely tall and tall, cold and noble, as if he was like a god.
Before they came in, there was already a young couple in the hall burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
Afterwards, his eyes were all on Xie Lanshen, and the girl said to her companion in a small voice: "I want to worship him."
I want to worship him, these three words.
He spoke out the voice in Jiang Nai's heart.
Xie Lanshen finished burning the incense at this time, picked up the sign on the table in his hand and slowly handed it to Jiang Nai: "The host just said that the sign here is very effective, give it a try?"
Jiang Nai looked at his calm and gentle eyes, and his chest suddenly throbbed inexplicably.
At this moment, her thoughts were not on this sign, but on the man's slender fingers with distinct bones. Her heart was moved. After a while, she was afraid that she would be seen through at first sight, so she didn't dare to hesitate for too long. She reached out to take it with a smile in her eyes.
Only when you draw lots with sincerity will it be effective.
Jiang Nai listened to Xie Lanshen's reminder and knelt gently on the futon. His black hair was very long, soft and slightly curled around his waist. When he lowered his head, half of his white face was faintly exposed.
She closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart.
When she heard Xie Lanshen beside her, she told her that she could shake the sign.
Jiang Nai held the sign in his palm and shook it up and down.
In a short while, the bamboo stick fell from the barrel.
Xie Lanshen picked it up with slender fingers, lowered his eyes and swept the bamboo sticks, No. 29.
Immediately afterwards, he calmly pulled out the yellow paper on the row of wooden cabinets beside him, No. 29 to look at it.
It was completely true that the old monk who had signed the letter ignored it.
After Xie Lanshen saw that the words "Secret Sign" were written on the paper, his handsome face and expression remained unchanged, so he put it back.
On this side, Jiang Nai stopped and slowly opened his eyes.
However, she didn't see any bamboo sticks on the ground, but Xie Lanshen whispered: "If you have sincerity, you will be more effective, start over."
Jiang Nai didn't doubt that he was there, but he saw the onlookers laughing from the corner of his eyes.
This time, Jiang Nai became even more pious, and a sign quickly shook out of the barrel.
He was picked up by Xie Lanshen, and the number 13 of the bamboo was still signed.
Jiang Nai didn't have time to open his eyes, and heard him say, "Come again."
She didn't know whether she had shaken out the bamboo stick or not. She took a slight breath and lowered her head to continue.
The next second, the bamboo sticks fell, and the number 24 was signed.
Three consecutive times, Xie Lanshen put the bamboo sticks on the wooden cabinet. This time he did not let Jiang Nai shake it again. His slender figure stood quietly beside her. His clear face was very focused, but his long fingers casually fiddled in the box for a while and pulled out a bamboo stick.
"alright."
Jiang Nai raised his eyes and happened to collide with Xie Lanshen's gaze, while she still kept kneeling.
Xie Lanshen handed the bamboo to her, and his voice faintly reminded her to go to the monk to explain the sign.
Jiang Nai quickly stood up and knelt for too long, his knees soft.
Xie Lanshen reached out his hand in time, held her thin arm, and let it go in the next second: "Slow down."
Jiang Nai's eyes bent and he handed it to the old monk sitting at the wooden table next to him with a bamboo stick.
The sign was resolved.
Sign up.
The old monk said very little, just one sentence: "If you have noble people to help you."
*
When she walked out of the side hall and stood under the eaves, Xie Lanshen asked her: "What wish did you make?"
Jiang Nai blinked his dark eyes, looked back at the Buddha statue where he was sitting peacefully, and whispered: "Can you express your wishes?"
Xie Lanshen slowly copied one hand into his pants pocket and looked at her leisurely: "It depends on who you are telling me."
Jiang Nai didn't interpret the meaning of his words, but the corners of his lips were smiling.
I can't tell whether it is because Xie Lanshen is with her or because he has won a lottery ticket in the temple.
In short, the depression that was stuck in my heart last night disappeared at this moment.
After walking out for a while, Jiang Nai said to the man who was standing side by side: "I have two wishes for the Buddha statue when I worshipped me, so let me tell you one."
