Chapter 1 What Do You Want?
"Those who live in isolation are either beasts or gods.
I'm greedy, I'm greedy for the fireworks of the world, so I decided to stay here.
In the wilderness of boundless time, there is no one step earlier, no one step later......
It turns out that you are here too."
……
……
Let's turn back the time to two and a half years ago, which is a small thing that is not too far away.
In the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, the candidates gathered at Quanling Mountain.
At that time, Cao Aiqing, who was still innocent, had a boyfriend named He Tianran by his side.
It was a hot and sweltering day, and the sun on the hill was so hard to open your eyes that the thick sweat on your forehead was exposed, and they crossed your cheeks and echoed with the scorched air, as if they could freeze for a whole summer.
After going up the mountain, the boys and girls hid in the shade, under the eaves of the temple, they either talked about the future, or played quietly, some made vows, some smiling.
The girl and her friends bought water from the kiosk in the temple, and they were walking leisurely to the long pavilion in the back mountain, holding a plastic bag in one hand and a fan in the other.
"Wow, Ai Qing...... I had a nightmare that I was going to get married, but my groom was not me, and your personality had changed, and I had done a lot of bad things, making our relationship very rusty, and I had to be considerate of you, like a stupid beep, and force myself to wish you a happy wedding, I was so uncomfortable...... Ai Qing, I'm so uncomfortable...... Ah~~~~"
Cao Aiqing never expected that his boyfriend would be awakened by a nightmare after a nap, and the content of the dream was not very good, he was now holding himself like a child, crying and making trouble very funny.
However, seeing him so nervous about himself, Cao Aiqing felt a trace of sweetness in his heart, and was patient, patting him on the back while comforting him softly.
My boyfriend is an art student, he is very good, and he has achieved very good results in the art examination this year, but it may be because of art, so sometimes when he starts to do things, his thinking seems to jump out a lot.
Alas, I used to think that he was a rational and stable man like his father.
Unexpectedly, after this relationship, he completely became a child......
But, that's not bad either.
They are now in love like children, if they love you, they say they love you, if they are unhappy, they are unhappy, they do something wrong, the other party sincerely apologizes, and they forgive generously, although Cao Aiqing is very envious of his parents' long-term and foam-like feelings, but at the moment, this kind of "straight ball" romance exclusive to their age is not quite happy?
Cao Aiqing is a girl with a more introverted personality, and she won't declare a lot of her thoughts, but she really loves her boyfriend.
A few people sat in the long pavilion for a while, chatted for a while, and when they had rested enough, they planned to go to the Guanyin Hall to repay their vows.
For others, the wish may be just for study, but in her case, there is one more thing, marriage.
When she wasn't with her boyfriend at the beginning, she begged for a sign for this.
The classmates talked and laughed and walked to the Guanyin Temple, He Tianran stopped at the door and didn't go in, Cao Aiqing has always been puzzled, the last time he came to him, his boyfriend seems to have a congenital rejection of this kind of place, and when asked the reason, he just joked that he was allergic to the Bodhisattva.
You can't say such things in this kind of place, the girl didn't bother to pay attention to him, and after laughing and scolding, she walked into the temple alone.
The incense in the Guanyin Hall is vigorous, the atmosphere is solemn, Cao Aiqing closed his eyes, knelt on the futon and folded his hands, sincerely repaying his wishes.
The girl's lips squirmed slightly, she really seemed to have a lot of things to say to the Bodhisattva, and the classmates who knelt on the ground with her and made vows around her had changed several times one after another, but she still straightened her back straight, like a Bodhisattva seat, the most devout believer.
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, naturally not coming in at the door is not intentional, he has no disrespect, the nonsense he said at the door before, you must not care, he just slept a little dazed, has been confused, you don't remember the villain, don't be with his general knowledge, it's a big deal I'll go out, and then help you educate him well......
O Bodhisattva, what the believer asked for before has now been fulfilled, and he and I have both done well in the college entrance examination, and we have both gone to our respective ideal universities, and between me and him...... Well, although the faithful lady did not ...... before your seat last time I didn't say it very clearly, but the Bodhisattva has great powers, and he must know the wishes of the believer, so he helped us conclude this good relationship in the dark.
Bodhisattva, now the wish of the believer has come true, there is a golden road in front of her, accompanied by a good match, there should be nothing else to ask for, but also ask the Bodhisattva to be merciful, forgive the believer for greed, want to ask the Bodhisattva to bless the natural joy and happiness, no disease and no disaster, and also ask the relationship between the two of us to be able to last for a long time, even if it is only plain and bland, it is also the wish of the believer in her life. ”
After Cao Aiqing finished saying these words, he leaned down and kowtowed a few times in front of the Bodhisattva, and then slowly got up and prepared to leave.
Who knows, as soon as she came together, she noticed that someone was observing her, she looked around, and it turned out that on the right side of the main hall, there was an old monk in a yellow robe, who was looking at herself with a kind face.
The old monk beckoned to the girl, Cao Aiqing looked at no one on the left and right, confirmed that he was calling himself, and then slowly walked over.
"Donor."
The monk folded his hands and bowed his head slightly.
"Mage, you are...... Looking for me? ”
Cao Aiqing wondered.
The old monk nodded, and he helped the reading glasses in front of him, as if he wanted to see the girl for real.
Cao Aiqing saw his kind appearance, and there was a sense of familiarity, especially when the other party closed his palms, the crescent white rosary wrapped around the back of his hands, the girl remembered that her boyfriend also had an identical ......
It's just that I don't seem to have seen much recently.
"The sign that the donor asked for last time still works?" The old monk said in a kind tone.
Cao Aiqing hurriedly nodded: "Miracle, master, how do you know that I have asked for ......?"
Speaking of this, Cao Aiqing was suddenly amused by his stupidity in a trance, everyone who can come here today is still willing to come, everyone has asked for a visa, and it is really clumsy that he can ask this kind of question......
And if it doesn't work, there shouldn't be many people to make a vow, right?
So, is this mage in front of him trying to sell him some cigarettes, candles, or other things?
Xiao Aiqing, who has always liked to be careful and calculating, instantly became vigilant, although in front of the Bodhisattva, it seemed impolite to hold such worldly thoughts......
But if you just want incense money, Cao Aiqing can accept it, after all, it's for the Bodhisattva, it should be.
But if you're selling anything else, then you don't have to talk about it!
After thinking about it in her mind, Cao Aiqing was firm in her thoughts, but at this time, she heard the old mage say with a smile:
"Donor, do you remember the sign of the prophecy you asked for?"
This question, Cao Aiqing was still better than He Tianran at the door just now, but he didn't expect it to be his turn to turn his head.
"Remember, it's "For example, the first three, four, and five are missing, and half of them are not complete." Wait for the fifteenth good night, everywhere is bright and round."
Who knows, the mage was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "Think about it again." ”
"That's it......"
Cao Aiqing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then suddenly thought:
"Ah, I did swap visas with my boyfriend......"
"Yes, yes......"
This time, the old monk smiled and nodded.
"So donor, what do you want to do when you come this time?"
At that time, Cao Aiqing, who was devout and repaid, would never have imagined that after just two years, her marriage entanglement with He Tianran would undergo earth-shaking changes......
I guess there's still a chapter to come.
