520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

Before reaching the trailhead, there is a parallel road to go. Lingyin Temple is on this road.

On both sides of the road, high up, there are bright street lights, illuminating the bluestone slabs on the ground.

On the ground, the bright yellow lanterns add a bit of warmth to the monotonous scene, and seem to be able to shine light into people's hearts.

Occasionally, a few distinct and extremely vigorous wild grasses grow wildly among the stone slabs, adding a bit of unknown wildness to the road under your feet.

But the night was too dark, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you even a few inches away.

And darkness inevitably makes people have some weird and superstitious thoughts.

For example, wild monsters that take people’s lives, evil spirits that suck people’s energy… Oh, these may not be that scary.

But if there's a woman, abductor, or a criminal lying in wait in some bush, waiting for an opportunity... that's another matter.

In this world, after all, it is the criminals lurking in the dark that are more frightening, not to mention that most of these criminals are the one next to the single person.

Maybe it's because of the presence of the Y chromosome, which means we are born with the invasive and resistance factors...

In such an environment, the lights and the well-functioning surveillance systems emitting infrared rays act like a safe shield.

Protecting humans walking on the road from being harmed by some unknown things in the darkness.

Although, these are all "imaginations" at the psychological level.

But everyone knows that within China, in such a public place, in such a prosperous area, and especially at the foot of a temple with a strong incense burning in the mountains... it is almost impossible for a crime to occur in such a holy place.

However, even if you know you are safe, the darkness still makes you feel a fear of the unknown from the bottom of your heart.

Therefore, even when walking on a flat and safe road, Xiang Huanian and Lin Yunchu couldn't help but get close to each other and walk tightly in the protection circle of Gu Lingyan and Gu Shaoyu Anan.

Although it was not right, inappropriate, and against gentlemanly etiquette, the two gentlemen still felt a little bit of "secret joy" at this time.

But after walking for a while, Gu Lingyan and Gu Shaoyu could no longer bear the prick of conscience and turned on the high-wattage flashlights they carried with them.

As soon as the flashlight was turned on, the darkness a few meters away was completely illuminated.

Light always brings endless hope to people. The illuminated road, like an illuminated future, also dispels the confusion and fear in people's hearts.

"Wow! It's so bright!"

Xiang Huanian was attracted by the flashlights in Gu Lingyan and Gu Shaoyu's hands.

After opening it, there is a slight illusion that it is daybreak.

Although there were not many people climbing at night, there were still quite a few. The moment Gu Lingyan and Gu Shaoyu turned on their flashlights, the people in front and behind their team, who could only use the flashlights to illuminate a small area under their feet, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Some people even came up to buy links.

While Gu Shaoyu was recommending it to others, Xiang Huanian secretly walked up to Gu Lingyan and asked him for the link.

"Mr. Gu, where did you buy this flashlight? I want to buy one too. Can you send me the link?"

Seeing Xiang Huanian approaching him actively, Gu Lingyan couldn't help but be unhappy. He thought Xiang Huanian was tired and that the chance for him to hold his hand and perform well had come. However, he never expected that Xiang Huanian was here to ask for a connection.

Gu Lingyan, who was overjoyed, said: "...I'm giving it to you."

"No, no, I can buy it myself."

"...This model has been discontinued and is not available elsewhere. I have plenty at home, so you don't have to worry."

Gu Lingyan looked at Xiang Huanian, who was standing beside him and illuminated by the scattered light of the flashlight. It seemed as if he had a layer of retro filter, erasing some minor blemishes on his face. In the intersection of light and shadow, Xiang Huanian's handsome eyebrows and eyes were even more exquisite.

It seems like a graceful lady walking out of an ink painting, with an indescribable charm.

"Ah? That brother-in-law..."

Hearing Gu Lingyan say this, Xiang Huanian's gaze involuntarily shifted to Gu Shaoyu, who was in the crowd, talking like a brother to the guys who came up to connect with him, and was arm in arm with him.

It has been discontinued, so what was the link he just sent to people?

"This model has been discontinued, but the brand hasn't gone bankrupt. They have new products and similar ones. Shao Yu should have promoted those to them."

Gu Lingyan glanced at Gu Shaoyu in the center of the crowd and explained to Xiang Huanian.

"Oh, I see……"

One thing about Xiang Huanian is his persistence, or you could even call him stubborn.

That is, under certain conditions, if she cannot get the same model of something she likes, she would rather not have it than search for something similar as a substitute.

There is no one like you here in Xiang Huanian.

Therefore, after hearing Gu Lingyan say that this flashlight was discontinued, Xiang Huanian's obsession with this flashlight became even deeper, and he coveted it even more.

To be honest, as long as an item is labeled as out of print, people will buy it even if it is not used because of its uniqueness, waiting for it to be used or appreciated in value one day in the future, and to bring honor to themselves at some unexpected moment.

"Take it."

Seeing that Xiang Huanian was hesitant, Gu Lingyan made a decision for her directly. He put the flashlight in Xiang Huanian's hand and asked her to hold it.

However, both of them overlooked an important issue.

This flashlight is domestically produced. Because of its excellent quality and no unscrupulous merchants cutting corners, all the materials are real.

So, when using it, the effect of the photo is so good that so many people want to link to it.

That's why this flashlight is very heavy.

It’s almost as heavy as Lele.

"oops!"

Xiang Huanian was not mentally prepared, and the moment he took it, he almost dropped the flashlight and himself to the ground.

Fortunately, Gu Lingyan, who had been keeping an eye on Xiang Huanian, reacted in time and placed his hands under Xiang Huanian's hands, holding them firmly and also steadily lifting up Xiang Huanian's shaky body.

Big hands hold small hands.

The flashlight shone into the distance, and Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan, who were standing on both sides of the flashlight, were suddenly brought closer because of the action of holding the flashlight.

Very close to each other.

Almost, face to face.

It's a distance where you can kiss if you get just an inch closer.

For a moment, no one dared to move.

"Click."

I don't know, whether intentionally or unintentionally, whose finger touched the flashlight switch.

The surroundings fell into darkness again.

They let each other's breathing entangle with each other in this darkness.
