The palms are extremely sensitive areas.

At that moment, she scratched the palm of my hand intentionally, and the tingling sensation became more real.

Eight monks in golden robes stood on both sides. They were unremarkable and looked similar to the monks they had just seen outside the door.

"New guests are coming."

A monk walked slowly over and handed over the disc in his hand.

The round plate was made of green jade, and on it were several snacks in the shape of children.

"This is a Zifu biscuit, symbolizing the deep bond with children and the joy of inheritance."

"Please welcome the new guest to have a taste." The monk came to Qin Changsheng.

Qin Changsheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine. There was only one dessert on the plate, and it was obvious that she was the only one who wanted to eat it. The dessert was small and exquisite, with pink and white colors interwoven, blending like mist.

It does look nice, but...

It is the food of the evil temple.

It is hard to say what is inside. Looking around, many female pilgrims are eating snacks at the urging of their husbands. In their eyes, the cakes sent by Master Huisheng are the supreme gift.

If she didn't eat, it would definitely arouse their suspicion.

Although he felt uncomfortable and hesitated for a moment, Qin Changsheng pretended to be happy and picked up a lotus dessert from the boy's round plate.

At most she'll have abdominal pain for a few days, but she won't be poisoned anyway.

She didn't have time to eat it.

Without any warning, a bony hand suddenly approached and picked up the pastry in her hand.

The moment they touched, his fingertips inadvertently brushed across her fingertips, soft and slightly cool, like an unexpected breeze.

Qin Changsheng was stunned for a moment, but Li Lianhua seemed unaware and put the lotus cake into her mouth.

Seeing him eat it, the monk was also stunned and said, "Donor, this is for the lady to enjoy. How can you rob her of her fate?"

"How can it be that only women can eat cakes? My wife has a special physique. If she feels unwell after eating it, I will be worried."

Her Adam's apple moved as she swallowed the cake that was brought to her. Li Lianhua glanced at her sideways, and suddenly put one arm gently around her waist, then half-held her in his arms.

"My wife and I are one and the same. Her fate with the child is also my fate with the child. It doesn't matter who eats it."

Seeing that he had already eaten, the monk had nothing to say. He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step back.

Li Lianhua's voice was soft and slow, her eyes and tone were full of affection, and every word she spoke was serious, as if it weighed a thousand gold.

Even though I know it's fake, it still makes my ears itch for no reason.

So, had Li Lianhua eaten that unidentified snack for her? Was he worried she'd get poisoned? But he was the team's backbone, so what would he do if something went wrong?

His eyelashes rustled, and Qin Changsheng raised his eyes calmly.

Li Lianhua remained calm and composed: "I'm fine."

He had his own considerations. In order to win over the hearts of the people, the evil temple would not add poison into the cakes. Otherwise, the pilgrims would die from the poison and no one would come.

At most, it was some drugs, which he had prepared when he came. But she didn't have any skills at all. If she ate the cake and got tricked, he would have to worry about her once they separated.

The monk holding the round plate smiled and walked away slowly. The hostility that flashed by not long ago seemed like an illusion.

Qin Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to cover his lips, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If there is anything, tell me. We are companions and share the burden together."

Facing her pair of dark, bright eyes, Li Lianhua responded, "Yeah."

Sharing the burden together? Ever since his senior brother died, he's been solitary. It's been a while since I've heard that word...
