Chapter 290: Growing old together

In the second half of the night, Shen Jianian didn't fall asleep much, and sometimes touched the diamond ring on her ring finger in the quilt, she couldn't understand why things were going in a direction she didn't expect.

Is Fu Jichen's marriage proposal like this?

The rings are all on her hands, has she agreed?

But she hasn't said anything yet.

"Still not sleeping?" When she touched the ring for the twentieth time, Fu Jichen's hand around her waist tightened, and the bodies of the two people were close to each other.

Shen Jianian pursed his lips, and goosebumps appeared on the back of his neck.

He...... How could he be so ......

She thought he was asleep.

Fu Jichen sighed leisurely in the dark, Shen Jianian couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could interpret his helplessness from that sigh.

His tone was also leisurely: "If you move around, I will be very energetic." ”

In the darkness, Shen Jianian blinked a few times, and her eyes were as bright as glass beads: "I'm sorry, I ......" She blushed and spoke incoherently in embarrassment, "I'll sleep now, I'll sleep right away." ”

Fu Jichen sighed again, and this sigh was even more helpless.

Shen Jianian closed her eyes, although her brain was still active, she was trying to brew sleep. She didn't tease him either, wondering why he was so energetic......

The two hugged each other, because they were close, each other's breaths were intertwined, and they didn't fall asleep until more than three o'clock in the morning.

When Shen Jianian woke up, she was the only one on the bed, she half-propped up her body, she didn't find Fu Jichen in the room, her eyes fell on the pillow, and there was a bulging red envelope on it.

She opened the red envelope, and inside was a brand new hundred-dollar bill, stuffed to the brim, and she couldn't fit any more.

There is no doubt that this is the New Year's money given to her by Fu Jichen.

In the past, her parents would do the same when she pressed her money, and secretly put it next to her pillow on Chinese New Year's Eve while she was asleep, and she woke up the next day and could see it when she opened her eyes.

Shen Jianian pinched the red envelope, sat on the bed in a daze, and in a trance seemed to return to her childhood, the next second, her mother would knock on the door and call her for breakfast, telling her that the dumplings were wrapped in coins, and whoever ate them would have good luck for a whole year. She put on her new clothes with great interest and went downstairs to eat dumplings, always thinking that she would eat dumplings with coins, so she was careful when biting, for fear of knocking her teeth......

Fu Jichen came out of the cloakroom while arranging his cuffs, Shen Jianian heard the footsteps, raised his head, and was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he hadn't left yet.

"I'll buy you candy." Fu Jichen raised his eyebrows, his tone was casual, "It's not enough." ”

He felt that she would definitely not ask for a bank card in a red envelope, and the cash was sincere.

Shen Jianian sniffed very lightly, and his voice was low, with a little nasal voice: "I don't eat sugar anymore." ”

"Then keep it and buy sugar gourds."

"I don't eat sugar gourds either."

"Buy buns to eat."

Shen Jianian "fluttered", a little burst into laughter, she wiped the corners of her eyes when she got out of bed, and quickly ran into the bathroom to wash.

Fu Jichen stood outside the door and talked to her through the door panel: "Take you to Tanfu Temple to incense today?" ”

Shen Jianian was holding a toothbrush in his mouth, his mouth was full of toothpaste foam, and the fresh aroma of mint and jasmine mixed together: "Do you have time today?" ”

Her voice wasn't very clear, but Fu Jichen heard it.

Yesterday was a full day off, and today there is a work arrangement, and at five o'clock in the evening, he needs to have a cross-border video conference.

Overall, there was plenty of free time to go out for a walk with her.

Shen Jianian washed his face, came out with a plain and fair face, and spoke much clearer face-to-face: "Why do you want to go to Tanfu Temple to make incense, you believe in this very much?" ”

Fu Jichen wiped away the water droplets left by washing her face at the root of her ears with his fingers, and his voice was low and deep: "I didn't believe it before, but now I think I can believe it." ”

In the three years since he lost her news, he has done a lot of good deeds, going to Tanfu Temple once a month, donating a sum of incense money, and donating to build medical centers and schools in remote mountainous areas.

Later, the abbot of Tanfu Temple gave him a four-character motto - wait for good news.

He really waited for good news.

He found the person he was looking for, his Jia Nian.

So, he felt that he could believe it.

But Shen Jianian didn't understand his thoughts, since he had time, it didn't hurt to go, she used to go to Tanfu Temple with her parents on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"There will be a lot of people offering incense today." Shen Jianian went to the cloakroom to change clothes and kindly reminded him, "Is your leg really okay?" ”

He was in a lot of pain yesterday, cold sweat broke out, his forehead and sideburns were barely dry, wiped clean and a layer came out, maybe he should stay at home and rest today.

Fu Jichen came to her side, didn't say a word, and suddenly hugged her.

Shen Jianian, who was picking out clothes in front of the wardrobe, was startled and gasped: "What are you doing?" ”

Fu Jichen was telling her with his actions that his legs were fine, and he could accompany her to climb the long stone staircase with no end in sight, and he could also accompany her to queue up in the crowd to offer incense.

"My leg is fine." Fu Jichen also has the self-esteem of being a man, especially in front of the woman he loves, "Don't mention this in the future." ”

"Got it." Shen Jianian jumped down from the crook of his arm, touched his ear, and said weakly, "Then you dress warmly, sometimes it hurts when you get cold." ”

He only explained how the scar on his abdomen came from last night, and didn't mention the injury on his leg.

*

The two had breakfast at home, and Qu Mo drove them to the foot of the mountain.

After getting out of the car and walking a long way, Shen Jianian found that Qu Mo was following behind them, keeping a distance that was neither far nor close, and she asked Fu Jichen softly: "Doesn't Qu Mo need to take a holiday?" ”

"There's no one left at home." Fu Jichen said.

Shen Jianian didn't ask anymore, followed the crowd to climb the stone ladder step by step, and was tired and out of breath halfway through, and had the idea of returning the same way.

When she looked back at the bottom of the mountain, there was a crowd of people, blocking the road tightly, and the heart that wanted to return was timid, so she gritted her teeth and insisted on climbing up.

"Want to quit?" Fu Jichen asked her with a smile, grabbed her little hand, and led her up slowly.

He walked alone on this road for three years, and he had seen the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but he had only seen the scenery of early summer with her. This is the first time they have seen the scenery of the mountains and winter snow together on this road.

Shen Jianian exhaled white air from his mouth, pointing to the green pine trees on the mountain, and clusters of white snow piled up on the branches, like a painting.

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

Fu Jichen glanced at it, it was very beautiful, but it was less than one-ten-thousandth of her.

Shen Jianian took out his mobile phone from his pocket, took a photo of the picture of the snow pressing the green pine, and sent it to the circle of friends without any text.

Bai Changxia was probably looking at his phone, and the first comment: "Where did this go?" Going hiking on the first day of the new year? ”

Shen Jianian replied to her: "Come to Tanfu Temple to offer incense." ”

Bai Changxia: "With Boss Fu?" "Shen Jianian can't run to incense alone.

Shen Jianian: "Hmm. ”

Bai Changxia: "There are a lot of people in Tanfu Temple today. ”

Shen Jianian took two photos and sent them to her through private messages, one on the mountain and the other on the bottom of the mountain, the narrow stone steps were full of people, and only a black and oppressive human head could be seen.

Bai Changxia sent a bunch of thumbs-up expressions: "Breathtaking." ”

Shen Jianian played with her mobile phone with one hand, and the other hand was held by Fu Jichen, with him to see the road, she only needed to lift her feet, and suddenly, her hand was dragged, and she fell crooked in his arms, and he wrapped her body with his arm.

"Watch your step, don't look at your phone." Fu Jichen reminded gently.

Shen Jianian raised her eyes, and then saw someone hurrying down the mountain, almost colliding with her. She put her phone back in her pocket and focused on the road ahead.

Seeing the outline of Tanfu Temple, there was still a long way to go, and in the end, Shen Jiannian's whole person became a pendant, hanging on Fu Jichen's body, dragging his steps to death.

She also runs a lot in the summer, but then she is occupied by all kinds of chores, and she hasn't exercised for a long time, and her physical fitness can't keep up.

When he finally climbed to the top, Shen Jianian felt not joy, but complained in his heart, how to go back......

There are too many people who come to incense on the first day of the new year, there is a long queue outside the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and some people come before dawn, just to go to the "head incense" and get a good omen.

Fu Jichen went to buy incense and handed it to Shen Jianian: "Think about what to ask the Buddha for first." "Lest it be like making a wish on your birthday, thinking about it for a long time and not knowing what wish to make.

Shen Jianian was really worried: "I don't know what I want." ”

Fu Jichen gave her an idea: "Then ask the Buddha to bless you and me to be united forever and grow old together." ”

What Shen Jianian wanted to say was shown on his face: How did you say such a thing seriously?

Fu Jichen: "Can't you?" ”

Shen Jianian didn't say if he could do it, but only asked him: "If I ask for this, what do you ask for?" ”

Fu Jichen still had that serious expression: "I also ask for this." ”

“……”

At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, it was their turn, Shen Jianian held incense and silently recited her wishes to the Buddha, she did not follow what Fu Jichen said, she asked the Buddha to bless them to live a long life.

She quietly opened one eye, and the tall man was beside her, he was dressed in black, solemn and cold, as if he was out of the world, and would not be contaminated with the fireworks of the world. But his expression of incense was unprecedentedly pious, making people feel that he was still a mortal who was troubled by the mundane world.

Otherwise, why would he come to offer incense and pray?

Only mortals will ask for something. (End of chapter)
