Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

"It tastes bad!"

"Help!"

"I'm truly impressed!"

"What the hell is this weird smell?!"

Longjing hotpot forced Luo Ye to swear.

He left the hot pot restaurant with a look of disgust, deciding to take the advice of the waiter from yesterday and go eat Blue Porridge Ramen.

Speaking of which, by this time, my senior should already be home, right?

Luo Ye took out his phone and sent a message to the fairy senior.

Luo Ye: Senior, are you home yet?

The message notification sounded quickly, and I replied almost instantly.

Fairy Senior: Not here yet.

Seeing this, Luo Ye thought to himself, "It's already noon, could my senior still be on the high-speed train?"

Luo Ye: Has senior eaten yet?

Fairy Senior: I haven't eaten.

Luo Ye: So, what would you like to eat, senior? Your loyal junior will order you takeout.

Fairy Senior: I don't want to eat.

Luo Ye: Senior, is it because you don't have a good appetite?

Fairy Senior: I don't know.

……

Luo Ye was slightly taken aback.

Although the senior student replied to each message coldly, she answered each one instantly.

This is contradictory. If the senior student doesn't want to talk to him, she can simply not reply to him.

But when the senior student replied, her reply was so cold.

Could it be that……

Is the senior student implying that she's in a bad mood?

He recalled what Gu Mingxuan had reminded him of before the holiday.

With that in mind, Luo Ye began editing the message.

Luo Ye: Senior, are you from Hangzhou? What are some fun places to visit in Hangzhou?

Fairy Senior: No.

Luo Ye: Senior... is there anything that left a deep impression on you? I don't know where to go when I come to Hangzhou in the future.

Upon seeing this message, Su Baizhou actually started to think about it seriously.

She sat at the entrance of the residential compound, looking haggard, but her mind was racing with thoughts of fun places to visit in Hangzhou.

Although it was the city where she grew up, she couldn't think of an answer for a moment when asked about it.

At that moment, Luo Ye sent another message.

Luo Ye: Hangzhou actually has a planetarium?!

Luo Ye: Senior, do you like looking at the stars?

Seeing this, Su Baizhou raised her head blankly.

Then she lowered her head again, revealing a bewildered expression.

She must be crazy; there are no stars in broad daylight.

Her thoughts were completely drawn to Luo Ye's messages; whenever he mentioned stars, she subconsciously looked up.

Suddenly, Luo Ye sent another message.

Luo Ye: Senior! You've been fooled by a bad man! There's no planetarium in Hangzhou!

Upon seeing this message, Su Baizhou couldn't help but chuckle.

Luo Ye: But there's a Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou! Is it the Lingyin Temple from the story of Ji Gong?

Su Baizhou gave an affirmative answer.

Yes.

Those two words made Luo Ye feel happy.

Because the senior student is no longer as indifferent as she was at the beginning.

Does this mean that the senior student's mood has improved?

Luo Ye: Would you like to draw a fortune stick, senior? Maybe all the bad things will just leave on their own.

Speaking of drawing lots, Luo Ye had actually planned to do so as well.

He's going to pray for a good marriage!

However, since it's a seven-day holiday, there will likely be a lot of people visiting Lingyin Temple.

Upon seeing Luo Ye's message, Su Baizhou's expression turned fierce.

The message this junior sent sounds like he's trying to coax a child.

Humph.

Su Baizhou tapped Luo Ye's profile picture on her phone screen and muttered, "I'll tap your head."

However, she hasn't tried drawing lots or anything like that yet. Does it really work?

She hopes her mother is healthy and happy.

Her mother just replied, saying that she and her uncle are at their old home in the countryside, and asked Su Baizhou if she had time to go back and visit.

There was no rush. Before going home, Su Baizhou decided to go to Lingyin Temple to ask for a peace charm for her mother.

Although she knew it was just metaphysics, the sentiment was more important.

Thinking of this, Su Baizhou stood up.

Unconsciously, she was no longer sad, as if she had forgotten what had just happened. Only the slap mark on her face remained, but she no longer felt any pain.

She was just about to leave when she saw a familiar face.

An ordinary-looking girl was carrying a suitcase and walking towards the residential area.

She was Su Baizhou's childhood friend; the two were classmates until high school and would have been very good friends.

Even after graduating from high school, when Su Baizhou was the subject of rumors, she still thought her friends would believe her.

However, she underestimated human nature and never truly understood her childhood friend.

The girl was clearly taken aback when she saw Su Baizhou.

After that, the two missed each other like strangers.

Su Baizhou glanced back, but didn't dwell on the matter.

Whether she believes in herself or not is no longer important, because they grew up together, she knows herself, and she knows that she is being slandered.

Even so, she chose to slander.

This city, where I grew up eating plain congee, feels incredibly unfamiliar; it's as if everything is gray.

She packed her luggage and prepared to go to Lingyin Temple to draw lots.

Meanwhile, Luo Ye had already arrived at Lingyin Temple.

He took a photo and posted it in the dormitory group, asking his sons what signatures they needed.

Wang Dachui: Holy crap, you went to Hangzhou? Awesome.

Li Haoyang: May Buddha have mercy.

Shen Qiao: Coach, that's hilarious, thank goodness.

My three roommates are like a bunch of clowns. In the dorm group chat, either no one talks, or when they do, it's like throwing firecrackers into a bonfire, and it just explodes.

Lingyin Temple is located in a scenic area, which is surrounded by several tea plantations, making it appear quite vast.

Luo Ye took several photos to prove that he had been there.

The area was packed with people; even before we reached Lingyin Temple, it was already crowded.

Although it's afternoon now, judging from the current situation, it seems we'll have to wait in line until evening to get a fortune slip.

At this moment, Luo Ye received a private message from Shen Qiao.

Shen Qiao wanted him to help her get a peace charm.

Luo Ye readily agreed.

Although it's unclear why the male celebrity wanted this, since it was his son's request, as a father, he felt obligated to comply.

After waiting in line for three hours, Luo Ye was finally able to pray and burn incense.

Besides helping Shen Qiao with what she asked for, he also made three wishes here.

First, I hope my parents will be reborn as humans and live a happy life.

Second, world peace.

Third, Fairy Senior Sister, you can be the happiest girl in the world.

He originally wanted to find a spouse, but after thinking it over carefully, he gave up.

One should not seek help from Buddha to find a partner.

Instead, he asked himself.

When he left Lingyin Temple, it was already 6 p.m., and the temple was closed. Now, one could only leave, not enter.

As expected of a Buddhist holy site, their daily routine is very regular.

Luo Ye stepped out of the gate, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Not far away, a very beautiful girl was sitting quietly on the steps by the door, carrying a suitcase, looking somewhat confused.

The congee was late.

She also queued for a long time, but by the time it was her turn, the place was no longer accepting customers.

What was the point of her queuing for so long...?

Was it destined that she would never be able to draw this fortune stick?

think carefully……

If you can't get it, isn't that still an outcome?

Su Baizhou stared silently at the ground, as if she had lost in thought.

At this moment, she lacked the aura of a cold goddess; she was more like a vulnerable girl.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of her.

"Amitabha."

A somewhat familiar voice reached her ears. Su Baizhou looked up and saw a handsome, sunny boy with his hands clasped together and a smile on his face, saying to her, "What troubles you, benefactor? May I ask you?"

Upon seeing that face, a surge of emotions welled up inside Su Baizhou, who didn't know how to describe the feeling.

She felt a lump in her throat, and if she hadn't been holding it in, tears would have already streamed down her face.

Although many questions arose in her mind, the most important thing was...

Her trip today was not without its rewards.

She received the best visa in the world.
