The thousand-year-old temple was located halfway up the mountain. It was filled with the mottled traces of time, simple and solemn.

Chief Xie was obviously a regular here. Some monks even took the initiative to greet him with a cordial attitude.

“Class monitor seems to believe in Buddhism.”Jin Zhao could not help but sigh.

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that chief Xie often came to this temple to copy scriptures, and even followed the monks to do morning and evening classes.

Ying Shiyu was deep in thought. “I heard that if someone in the family is sick or has other requests, they can follow the monks to do morning and evening classes. They can go around the temple and kowtow every three steps. Everything they want can be achieved. It’s very effective.”

Qiao Qian took the place of his class monitor and immediately could not accept it.

“That’s impossible. How can the class monitor condescend to do that kind of thing?”

Yan Xi subconsciously raised her hand and pressed the safety amulet on her body.

Ying Shiyu said, “I’m just saying. The class monitor probably believes more in science. After all, he’s a highly intelligent person. He wouldn’t be like an ordinary person who would be so lost that he would seek help from the Gods and Buddhas, right?”

That was true. Xie changze was just copying the Buddhist scriptures. It was probably more about cultivating one’s body and character.

Xi Yan was confused. “So What’s with the way we worshipped Buddha today?”

Yan XI smiled and said, “Maybe we should work hard scientifically and seek a spiritual comfort?”

After all, it was a solemn temple. Soon, everyone stopped discussing this topic and focused on worshipping.

Since they were already here, there was no harm in worshipping more.

Perhaps affected by the atmosphere, Yan Xi could not help but calm down as she looked at the tall and solemn Buddha statue in front of her. She reverently kowtowed.

Someone on the futon beside her also knelt down. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that it was Xie changze. Perhaps the other party’s actions were especially solemn and solemn, filled with a sense of ritual and sacredness. Yan XI subconsciously followed the other party’s actions, she bowed again.

Ying Shiyu, who turned her head to see this scene:”…”

Although her thoughts were a little out of place, looking at the actions of these two people, she felt like she was bowing to Heaven and earth.

She sighed. Originally, she would not have done CP during the college entrance examination, but who asked someone to chase after the class monitor and directly block the school gate yesterday after school.

Although she heard from her classmates that the girl did not gain any advantage, everyone could tell that she had not given up yet.

She must have felt that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, so others had to support her. That was why she was so confident.

But if she were to go up against Yan XI, the girl would definitely not be enough. She would probably give up as well?

When Yan Xi got up, a hand was handed over from the side. She gave it a hand and said, “Thank you.”

Xie Chang led his people to the side and said, “The weather is quite hot today. Later, there will be mung bean porridge in the side hall. Do you want to try it?”

Yan XI nodded. “Sure.”

She thought it was the kind of porridge that the temple served every day. In the end, she followed chief Xie and entered the temple for a long time. When she reached a courtyard, she realized it was not the same.

This was already an area that tourists were not allowed to enter.

When the monk saw the two of them come over, he smiled and stood up to greet them. In a short while, he brought out two bowls of mung bean porridge and a stack of snacks to cool off the heat.

Chief Xie stood up and went in to talk to the monk. Yan Xi sat under the eaves of the courtyard and drank the porridge. Her eyes were filled with the lush scenery of the mountains, and her mood was exceptionally calm.

When she sensed that someone was looking at her, Yan Xi suddenly raised her head and indeed saw an uninvited guest.

“Sorry, is there porridge here? Can you ask for a bowl?”The man who spoke stood at the entrance with a smile on his face. When he saw Yan Xi look over, he added, “Or I can pay to buy it.”

Yan Xi Thought for a moment, picked up the plate of snacks and a bottle of mineral water, and handed it over. “I’m sorry, this isn’t a congee place. You’ve come to the wrong place. If you’re hungry or thirsty, you can enjoy these without paying.”

The man simply sat down at the edge of the steps and said with a smile, “Thank you, kind man. I seem to have lost my way. I’m really tired, hungry, and thirsty.”

He did not stand on ceremony. He took the dim sum from Yan XI and began to eat.

His posture was a little casual and unrestrained, but his back was straight. His bearing was very dignified and elegant. He probably came from a good background.

However, the man’s face was abnormally pale, and his figure was a little thin, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

After the man finished the dim sum, he drank a few mouthfuls of mineral water and looked at Yan Xi with a smile. “Little girl, What’s Your Name? I want to repay you.”

When he smiled, his eyes were deep and curved. There were fine lines at the corners of his eyes. It was as if he was not aggressive at all, but it did not affect his handsome and beautiful face.

Yan XI said, “There’s no need to repay me. If you’ve recovered your strength, please go straight to the exit. This is not the viewing area.”

The man shrugged. “Alright, then I’ll go. I hope we’ll meet again if we’re fated!”

He stood up, waved his hand casually, and walked out of the courtyard.

When Xie Chang came out, he saw the man’s figure disappear at the door. He couldn’t help but ask, “Who is that?”

Yan XI retracted her gaze and shook her head. “A tourist who took the wrong path.”

She recalled the man’s appearance, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she had seen him before.

“But… I keep feeling that he’s not an ordinary tourist. He seems to know me.”Yan Xi hesitated for a moment and voiced her guess.

Although the man had restrained his gaze from the moment he entered the courtyard and maintained social etiquette, and his smile seemed to be casual, every time his gaze was cast over, there was always an indecipherable probing and scrutiny.

Xie changze said, “What does that person look like? I can ask uncle Gu to pay attention to him.”

Gu Nianzhi Feng had no faith in Buddhism, so he did not enter. Instead, he waited at the entrance of the temple.

If the other party wanted to leave the temple, they would have to pass through the main gate. This was a good opportunity for Gu Nianzhi Feng to observe.

Yan Xi shook her head. She did not want to make a big deal out of this. “This is just my guess. Maybe I was wrong. Forget it.”

The other party did not say or do anything to offend her. Although her eyes were scrutinizing, it could not be said to be malicious. She hoped that she was just too sensitive.

—

The two of them walked out and met up with the main group.

The group of people had already worshiped all the bodhisattvas in the temples, big and small. Regardless of whether it was for studies or marriage for health, they were all assured and comforted in their hearts.

Tomorrow, everyone would go to the examination hall to familiarize themselves with the route. The official college entrance examination was the day after tomorrow.

After being smoked by the sandalwood incense from the temple, it seemed like they were all covered with a good luck BUFF. They were filled with confidence for the future.

Xi Yan walked over with a few ice creams in his hands and gave one to Yan XI. After thinking about it, he gave another one to Xie changze. No one else had it.

Everyone looked at him with burning eyes, especially Jin Zhao. His tone was a little resentful.

“Xi Yan, aren’t we best friends? You bought ice creams without me? Are you still afraid that I won’t give you the Money?”

Was this a problem with an ice cream? This was a problem with friendship!

If they ate alone, they would be severely criticized!

Especially on such a hot day, everyone wanted to eat some ice cream to cool down.

Xi Yan felt a little guilty. “I don’t know where they sell ice cream either. I just saw an uncle eating ice cream, so I asked. I happened to help him out a little, so he gave me three.”
