Chapter 69 Decoration

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am honoured to honour those who have contributed to this demonic riot at St. John's Church in the United States, including Doug, Monroe, Lucille, and Zhang Xiaofan," echoed in the church's pulpit, and Father Louis straightened his back and spoke passionately.

St. John's Church is a historic church that has not been able to destroy its majestic appearance even by the passage of time;

After being smashed by the mob, Zhang Tielin sent back a sum of money, plus some private money from Li Bao'er, and the Church of St. John regained its proper luxury within a day, so that Father Louis was able to greet the visiting members of the Holy Cross and the reporters who came to interview them in good spirits and red faces.

Zhang Xiaofan is not very good at hiding his emotions, he looked at Li Bao'er sitting on the right, and his heart was a little troubled;

This young and beautiful girl is always giggling, but many things will not be said, she bears it silently, she may not like herself, but wants to break through the shackles of being bound, she wants to challenge her father's limits, challenge the limits of the world.

Zhang Xiaofan has a good impression of Li Baoer, it is the kind of love that his brother has for his sister, there is no trace of unclean desire, how much he wants to help her, but he can't, this world, after all, is not a person who has the final say, what protagonist halo and the like, never exist in the real world.

"Bao'er! Why don't you tell me when you have a marriage contract? Zhang Xiaofan was a little cramped and uneasy, so he had to go straight to the topic, and he didn't dare to face Li Baoer after speaking, and lowered his head to play with the dead skin on his hands.

Li Baoer didn't look at Zhang Xiaofan either, and kept staring at Father Louis's speech, but after hearing what Zhang Xiaofan said, her eyes lost their sparkle, and she whispered: "What does it matter to you that I have a marriage contract?" Besides, we are the children of wealthy businessmen, and our marriage is not free, so tell you, what can you help me? ”

Li Bao'er's tone was so calm, but it exuded a poignant atmosphere;

Matching families and arranged marriages are the games of the powerful, and the games of gambling with their children; Maybe the national law stipulates that an arranged marriage can be divorced directly, but which child will cut off the career and wealth of his parents?

The children of poor families are worried about money, but who is not worried? Different classes have their own laws of survival.

Even the most powerful disciples of Taoism in ancient times could only be a national teacher at most, could they affect the lives of the powerful? Not really! A person like Zhang Xiaofan was just a little Taoist priest in ancient times, what could he do? Neither can it!

Zhang Xiaofan could only try his best to let Li Baoer have the last happy time, and he asked: "Then you came to the United States, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Zhang Xiaofan, do you have to make it clear? Did my dad tell you to persuade me to go back? Do you really want me to go back? Li Baoer wants to break through the shackles, wants Zhang Xiaofan to give her a promise, wants Zhang Xiaofan to take her away and fly away, but this is not realistic, she just wants to stay with Zhang Xiaofan now, she would rather Zhang Xiaofan know nothing, just stay with her until the end.

Li Bao'er's words were not questioning, and her tone was still so steady, but it seemed to be like a needle in Zhang Xiaofan's ears, piercing her heart word by word.

Zhang Xiaofan was silent for a long time, inadvertently tearing the dead skin, and he didn't know that his hands were bleeding, he sighed: "To put it nicely, I can be regarded as a talented person, but what can I do?" This world is still the world of the powerful, even if I hide you, one day I will be found, for example, when I came to the United States, it is easy for you to find me. I really don't know what else I can do but persuade you to go back. ”

"Okay, I just want you to be my boyfriend for a day, can you promise me?" Li Bao'er turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaofan, only to see Zhang Xiaofan's brows tightly locked, she smiled, and a tear fell on the back of her hand, and then she wiped away her moist eyes and said, "You have to hesitate to be my boyfriend for a day, what else do you want to help me?" ”

Li Baoer's heart has a crack, but this crack has existed a long time ago, every time Zhang Xiaofan rejects herself, when Zhang Xiaofan talks about Chen Yating, the crack will be torn apart little by little, maybe one day, she will die.

"Me"

Zhang Xiaofan gently held Li Baoer's little face with his right hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but his hand was bounced away by Li Baoer.

He didn't hesitate any longer, grabbed Li Bao'er's left hand, and said firmly: "Okay! I promise, I promise to be your boyfriend for a day! ”

Zhang Xiaofan didn't know whether it was out of sympathy or other emotions, anyway, he felt that a girl asked so much for you, and he rejected her again and again, if he still couldn't meet her requirements before she got married, it would be too inhumane for her.

"Pastor Zhang Xiaofan, in view of the fact that you led the 'Flame Army' in this riot and defended people's lives and safety, and hereby awarded the Order of Paladin of the Third Class, are you willing to continue to defend the dignity of the Church, protect people's lives, and spread the glory of the Lord for the rest of your life in the name of the Church?"

Father Louis had already awarded medals to the other three, and this one was the last.

"Wait for me in a while, I'll definitely agree!" Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly came to the stage, performed a Christian etiquette, and followed Father Louis to say in a pure British accent: "This is my honor!" ”

It may be a little weird to use a British accent in the United States, but no matter how weird it is, it can't compare to Zhang Xiaofan's 'Flame Army's dress.

Father Louis pinned the medal to Zhang Xiaofan's priest's gown, smeared some holy oil on Zhang Xiaofan's face, and said to everyone present with a smile: "Next is the time for reporters to ask questions, and everyone can ask all kinds of questions that do not involve privacy. ”

The Orthodox Church, like Christianity, has a ritual of anointing holy oil, which can only be used after being consecrated by a bishop.

The anointing of holy oil is a "seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit," which is administered immediately after baptism in order to strengthen the new entrant's faith in the Triune God.

Zhang Xiaofan joined the company without being baptized, and he did not stay in the church after he was inducted, but Zhang Tielin was baptized one step ahead of Zhang Xiaofan.

Compared with others, the reporter is more willing to ask Zhang Xiaofan, after all, Zhang Xiaofan's behavior is too exaggerated, Doug, Monroe, and Lucille catch ghosts and kill ghosts, and normal people can't see the process.

And Zhang Xiaofan was broadcast live, and he was full of gimmicks to gang up and put on underwear to travel, which caused unprecedented social public opinion.
