When Chu Xichi took the elevator down to the first floor, before reaching the door of the service hall, he saw Ji Yubo casually leaning against the wall with a cake not far away.

For a moment, Chu Xichi began to rejoice that the other party was not really waiting for him at the service desk, so that he could avoid complete death.

The man lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, half of his body was hidden in the shadows, his expression was a bit obscure, as if there was a barrier that could not be seen all over his body, and he could notFully integrated into the lively outside world.

Chu Xichi inexplicably felt that the current Ji Yubo seemed... very lonely?

At this moment, the man seemed to have a telepathy, and looked up at his position.

Chu Xichi ran into those beautiful peach blossom eyes unexpectedly, and met Ji Yubo's eyes for a long time through the bustling crowd of people.

At this time, the world seemed to be quiet, and Chu Xichi even had the illusion that he would be drowned by the love in the eyes of the other party in the next second...

what am i thinking

He shook his head to get this absurd idea out of his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the man was already standing in front of him, staring at him with lowered eyes.

"Children Chi Chi came quite quickly."

Ji Yubo threw the unlit cigarette into the trash can beside him, with an indistinct curve on his lips, and his tone was full of ridicule, "Didn't you talk to strangers on the road?"

Hearing the address of the other party, Chu Xichi pursed his lips unhappily, subconsciously wanting to refute.But before he separated from Ji Yubo, it was he himself who kept saying, "It's not a child, who would get lost".

Thinking of this, Chu Xichi suddenly felt guilty and opened his mouth, but in the end he just darkened, pretending to be serious: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I met a fortune teller just now, so I wasted a little time." Speaking of the liar who was running the train with his mouth full just now, Chu Xichi felt a little annoyed, and raised his hand to rub his forehead, "There were too many people at that time, and you were gone when you turned around."

"Is that so..." Ji Yubo raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Then what is he to you?"

Chu Xichi was a little annoyed at the mention of this, and his lips curled up in a slightly unkind tone: "Say that I have suffered a bloody disaster recently."

In order to save his own face, he subconsciously concealed the fact that the Taoist priest was not only a liar, but also almost cheated him of 2,000 yuan. After all, this kind of thing would damage his dignity as the overlord, and he couldn't spread it if he was killed.

When Chu Xichi said this, he didn't pay much attention to it. When he raised his eyes and saw the dark expression of the man in front of him, he couldn't react for a while, "...what's wrong with you?"

What happened to Ji Yubo?!

He quickly recalled what he said just now in his mind, but he didn't find anything that would make the other party unhappy, so he said inexplicably, "Are you all right?"

When he looked again, Ji Yubo had returned to his usual indifference, except for the slight blue veins on the back of his hand holding the cake, he sighed softly, and remained silent for a moment before saying: "I'm fine...Just a little worried."

"It's all fake, you don't really believe it, do you?" Chu Xichi said without changing his face when he heard this, and he didn't mention the thing that he was also very superstitious just now.

Although he was a little guilty, he was still not ready to say that the Taoist priest was actually a liar.

After all, getting lost is embarrassing enough, and besides being almost cheated, his face as the overlord will be completely discredited.

"Um."

Ji Yubo nodded lightly and said no more.

At the moment when he heard the bloody disaster, even though various obscure thoughts had been rushing through his mind, in the end, he didn't show any emotion. He just calmed down and wrote lightly: "Let's go eat."

Due to this delay, the two finally missed the peak meal time. At this time, there were not many people in the restaurant, so they could eat directly without queuing.

After ordering the dishes, Chu Xichi looked around and was about to say something when suddenly, Ji Yubo's endless words came out of his ears: "Let's go to Lingshi Temple in a while."

Lingshi Temple is a famous temple in City A. Many tourists from other places will come here to pray for blessings on New Year's Day. The previous Chu Xichi was no exception. He also brought Ji Yubo here to pray for blessings on the last New Year before going abroad.

His thoughts were a little far away. He didn't expect that three years would pass in the blink of an eye...

"It's still early for the New Year, why are you going to Lingshi Temple now?" regaining consciousness, Chu Xichi asked inexplicably.

"It's not just the New Year that needs blessings." Ji Yubo still had his usual indifferent appearance, but his tone of voice was undeniably tough.

Chu Xichi:?

What's wrong with Ji Yubo being so good?

A thought flashed through my mind——

Could it be... Ji Yubo insisted on going to the temple to pray because he heard that he had a bloody disaster?

This thought was like a warm current flowing around his chest, which made Chu Xichi feel a little guilty for concealing his true identity just now for the sake of face. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, there is no need to go to the soul."Shisi, because...that Taoist priest is a liar."

"I know."

Unexpectedly, when Ji Yubo heard this sentence, his expression was still calm, without any extra emotions, he just calmly took a sip from his teacup, and said in a deep voice, "I saw a police car just now."

Chu Xichi: "..."

Did Ji Yubo know?

So what did he lie about just now?!

Chu Xichi organized his words quickly in his heart, but before he could open his mouth, Ji Yubo seemed to have read his mind, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to take any risks in anything about you, no matter whether it is true or not."

Hearing this, Chu Xichi felt ripples in his heart that he couldn't even figure out, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Ji Yubo, and his gaze fell directly into those eyes full of lingering love.

The man's gaze was too hot, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his heart with solemnity, just looking at each other for a moment, Chu Xichi felt a burning sensation.

Perhaps it was because Ji Yubo's emotions were too deep, subconsciously, he lowered his eyes to dodge his eyes, pursed his lips for a long time, and finally did not say any words of rejection.

Both of them were a little absent-minded during this meal. After all, they had something on their minds, and it didn't take long for them to finish their lunch.

Lingshi Temple is not far from the mall.

After the meal, Ji Yubo didn't waste much time, and directly drove Chu Xichi all the way to the temple.

After three years, after coming to Lingshan Temple again, Chu Xichi felt a little complicated.

Because of the low season, Gao Xiang was kept in the backyard of the temple at this time, some distance away from here, Ji Yubo glanced at it, and took the initiative to say: "I'm going to get the incense, you wait for me here."

"Okay." Chu Xichi waved his hand casually, and after watching Ji Yubo leave, he strolled around the courtyard a little bored.

There are a few trees of unknown species planted in the corner of the courtyard. The branches are full of red ropes. The branches are tall and luxuriant. The warm sunlight shuttles through the canopy and is sifted into fine mottled pieces by the emerald green leaves.swaying on the gravel road.

"Would you like a red string for blessing?"

The staff on the side noticed his gaze and pointed to the table under the tree, "Take the red string and pen over there, write the blessing and tie it to the branch."

"Each person is limited to one." While talking, the staff seemed to think of something again, and specially added: "These trees can be tied at will, but the tree in the corner cannot be tied."

"It was bought by a pilgrim in our temple himself. It is covered with his own blessings. Outsiders are not allowed to tie it on it."

"Okay, thank you." Chu Xichi nodded slightly, and followed the instructions to the table to pick up the pen and red string.

Each person can only ask for one, and he subconsciously prepared to write his name on the red cloth, but he hesitated when he wrote it, and the figure of Ji Yubo in his mind could not be dissipated no matter what.

The tip of the pen was tapped on the red cloth for a long time, and the ink slowly smeared around. Chu Xichi stared at the ink stain for a moment, and finally the pen sharpened, and the subject of the blessing changed from the original "Chu Xichi" to "Ji Yubo".

Apart from the initial hesitation, the following blessings became much smoother, and they were written quickly——

I wish Ji Yubo a smooth and safe life.

After drying the ink, before Ji Yubo and Gaoxiang came back, Chu Xichi held the red rope and was about to squeeze on the branch closest to him. Yu Guang suddenly swept into the corner, and the staff on that tree prohibited outsiders from hanging red clothtree.

The appearance of that tree is very strange. Although it is privately owned, the number of praying red ropes on it is no less than that of other trees. Looking from a distance, every red rope is full of blessings and is tied neatly.All the branches seemed to be made by one person.

Chu Xichi was not a very curious person, but at this moment, an inexplicable curiosity surged from his chest, as if there was an inexplicable induction, and it captured his brain in an instant.When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of the tree.

"Offended." He murmured in a low voice, then raised his hand and twisted a red string to see what was written on it, but saw his name unexpectedly.

I wish Chu Xichi peace and happiness.

what is this?

In an instant, Chu Xichi's mind went blank. He didn't understand why his name appeared on the private tree, and subconsciously turned over a few red ropes next to him. His name was written all over the blessed place.

Countless red strings are hung on the whole tree, and all the blessings are only for one person.

I wish Chu Xichi all the best.

I wish Chu Xichi......

 …

Chu Xichi's brain was completely blank, and his thoughts were in a mess. He stood there a little at a loss, and suddenly noticed the donor sign hanging on the tree, with the words Ji Yubo written on it.

The donation was made three years ago, not long after he went abroad. During this period, Ji Yubo would tie a red rope for blessings for him at regular intervals.

For three years, from beginning to end.

"...", Chu Xichi pursed his lips in a complicated mood _ feet car a me l hot _.

The hot fingertips holding the red rope in his hand lost consciousness, and something seemed to be slowly melting in the bottom of his heart, and the warm current spread along the blood vessels and nerves all the way to the whole body.

"Chi Chi?" Ji Yubo's voice rang in his ears. He had just retrieved Gao Xiang when he saw the young man standing in the corner, "How did you get here?"

Chu Xichi woke up from his complicated thoughts, looked at the man beside him with a complicated expression, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "You don't have to do this for me... and pray for yourself more."

Unexpectedly, Ji Yubo only traced his outline in detail with his eyes, his eyes were tired and solemn, and he looked at Chu Xichi a little inexplicably.

A moment later, a contented sigh overflowed from the man's lips: "I have it."

"I didn't see it?" Chu Xichi was a little confused, and looked at the drawstring on the tree again, thinking that he had misread it just now.

Hearing this, Ji Yubo just chuckled, and put his arms around the young man's shoulders, "Don't look for it, it won't work if you see it."

I have, my life is rough, you are the only blessing God gave me.

I am content.
