"Disgusting!"
"Help!"
"I'm really impressed!"
"What the hell is this weird taste!"
Longjing Hotpot had forced Luo Ye to curse.
He left the hotpot restaurant with a look of disgust, deciding to follow the waiter's advice from yesterday and go eat Lan Zhou Ramen.
Speaking of which, at this time of day, the senior sister should be home by now, right?
Luo Ye took out his phone and sent a message to Fairy Senior Sister.
Luo Ye: Are you home yet, Senior Sister?
Soon, a message notification chimed, almost an instant reply.
Fairy Senior Sister: Not yet.
Seeing this, Luo Ye wondered if the senior sister was still on the high-speed train, it being lunchtime.
Luo Ye: Have you eaten yet, Senior Sister?
Fairy Senior Sister: No.
Luo Ye: Then what do you want to eat, Senior Sister? Your loyal junior will order takeout for you.
Fairy Senior Sister: I don't want to eat.
Luo Ye: Senior Sister, are you not feeling well?
Fairy Senior Sister: I don't know.
Luo Ye was slightly stunned.
Although every message from the senior sister was cold, she replied to every single one instantly.
This was contradictory. If she didn't want to talk to him, she could have just not replied.
But she did reply, and so coldly.
Could it be...
Was the senior sister hinting that she was in a bad mood?
His mind flashed back to what Gu Mingxuan had reminded him of before the holiday.
Thinking of this, Luo Ye began to type a message.
Luo Ye: Your home is in Hangcheng, right? Are there any fun places in Hangcheng?
Fairy Senior Sister: No.
Luo Ye: Senior Sister... then are there any that left a deep impression? If I come to Hangcheng in the future, I won't know where to go.
Su Baizhou saw this message and actually started to think seriously.
She sat at the entrance of her residential compound, looking haggard, but her mind was racing, trying to think of fun places in Hangcheng.
Even though it was the city she grew up in, she couldn't think of an answer right away.
At this moment, Luo Ye's message came again.
Luo Ye: Hangcheng has an observatory?!
Luo Ye: Do you like looking at stars, Senior Sister?
Seeing this, Su Baizhou looked up blankly.
Then she lowered her head again, a confused expression on her face.
She must be crazy. It was daytime, where were the stars?
Her thoughts were being led by Luo Ye's messages. The moment he mentioned stars, she instinctively looked up.
Suddenly, Luo Ye sent another message.
Luo Ye: Senior Sister! You've been tricked by a bad man, there's no observatory in Hangcheng!
Upon seeing this message, Su Baizhou couldn't help but chuckle.
Luo Ye: But Hangcheng has Lingyin Temple! Is it the Lingyin Temple from Ji Gong?
Su Baizhou gave an affirmative reply.
Yes.
These two words made Luo Ye's mood lift.
Because the senior sister was no longer as cold as she was at the beginning.
This also meant, perhaps, that her mood had improved a little?
Luo Ye: Then do you want to get a fortune stick, Senior Sister? Maybe all the bad things will leave on their own.
When it came to fortune-telling, Luo Ye had actually planned to go too.
He was going to pray for a love match!
But since it was a seven-day holiday, there would probably be a lot of people at Lingyin Temple.
Seeing Luo Ye's message, Su Baizhou's expression turned fierce.
Why does the content of this junior's message feel like he's coaxing a child?
Hmph.
Su Baizhou tapped Luo Ye's avatar on her phone screen and muttered softly, "I'll tap your head."
But she had never tried fortune-telling before. Would it really work?
She hoped her mother would be healthy and happy.
Her mother had just messaged back, saying she was at their old home in the countryside with her uncle and asked if Su Baizhou had time to visit.
There was no rush, so before going home, Su Baizhou decided to visit Lingyin Temple to get a talisman for safety for her mother.
Although she knew it was just superstition, the thought behind it was more important.
With that in mind, Su Baizhou stood up.
Unconsciously, her mood was no longer sad, as if she had forgotten what had just happened. Only the slap mark on her face remained, but she no longer felt any pain.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a familiar face.
A girl with an ordinary appearance was walking towards the residential complex, carrying a suitcase.
She was Su Baizhou's childhood friend, and they had been classmates until high school. They should have been very good friends.
Until graduation from high school, when Su Baizhou was slandered, she thought her friend would believe her.
But she had underestimated human nature and had never truly understood her childhood friend.
Seeing Su Baizhou, the girl visibly froze.
Afterward, the two passed each other like strangers.
Su Baizhou glanced back but didn't dwell on it.
Whether the girl believed her or not no longer mattered, because they had grown up together, and Su Baizhou knew herself, knowing she had been slandered.
Even so, the girl had chosen to slander her.
The city where Su Baizhou grew up felt incredibly unfamiliar, as if everything was gray.
She packed her luggage and prepared to go to Lingyin Temple for fortune-telling.
Meanwhile, Luo Ye had already arrived at Lingyin Temple.
He took a photo and sent it to their dorm group chat, asking his "sons" if they needed any fortunes.
Wang Dachui: Holy crap, you're in Hangcheng? Awesome.
Li Haoyang: Buddha be merciful.
Shen Qiao: LOL Coach, Amitabha.
His three roommates were like clowns. The dorm chat was either silent, or when someone spoke, it was like throwing firecrackers into a bonfire, exploding instantly.
Lingyin Temple was located within a scenic area, surrounded by several tea mountains that looked vast.
Luo Ye took a few photos to prove he had been there.
The area was crowded with people. Even before reaching Lingyin Temple, there was already a crush of people.
Although it was afternoon, judging by the crowd, he figured he would have to queue until evening to get his fortune.
Just then, Luo Ye received a private message from Shen Qiao.
Shen Qiao wanted him to help get a talisman for safety.
Luo Ye readily agreed.
He didn't know why a male celebrity would want this, but since it was his "son's" request, he, as the "father," could not refuse.
After queuing for three hours, Luo Ye finally got to worship Buddha and burn incense.
In addition to getting what Shen Qiao asked for, he also made three wishes for himself.
First, he wished that his parents would be reincarnated as humans and have a happy life.
Second, world peace.
Third, he wished that Fairy Senior Sister would become the happiest girl in the world.
He had originally wanted to wish for a love match, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up.
A love match should not be sought from Buddha.
It should be sought by oneself.
By the time he left Lingyin Temple, it was already six in the evening. Lingyin Temple was closing, and people could only exit, not enter.
As expected of a sacred Buddhist site, their operating hours were quite regular.
Luo Ye stepped out of the security gate, ready to leave.
Suddenly, a familiar figure caught his eye.
Not far away, an incredibly beautiful girl was sitting quietly on the steps by the entrance, holding a suitcase, looking a bit lost.
Su Baizhou was late.
She had also waited in line for a long time, but by the time it was her turn, they were no longer accepting visitors.
So what was the point of her waiting for so long...
Was it destiny that she couldn't get this fortune slip?
Thinking about it carefully...
Not getting one was also a result, wasn't it?
Su Baizhou stared silently at the ground, her whole being seeming to have lost its spirit.
At this moment, she lacked the aura of a cold, aloof goddess; she was more like a vulnerable young woman.
Suddenly, a figure stood before her.
"Amitabha."
A somewhat familiar voice reached her ears. Su Baizhou looked up and saw a handsome, sunny young man, who clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Benefactor, what troubles you? May you tell this humble monk?"
Seeing this face, a wave of emotion washed over Su Baizhou. She didn't know how to describe the feeling.
She only felt a sting in her nose; if she hadn't held back, tears would have already fallen.
Although many questions arose in her heart, the most important thing was...
Her trip today had not been in vain.
She had received the best fortune slip in the world.
