Jiang Nanshu glanced at him. The ten-year-old boy had a shiny, shaved head. He rubbed his head apologetically.
Jiang Nanshu smiled at him and took a vegetarian dumpling.
“Thank you.”
Seeing that she accepted his kindness, the young monk breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely.
“Eat slowly. There’s more if you’re not full.”
After drinking the porridge and eating the dumplings and steamed buns, Jiang Nanshu took a walk around the small temple.
Remembering she hadn’t heard from Jiang Leyi yet, she turned on her phone, which had been turned off.
Lu Qingyan hadn’t sent any more messages.
Perhaps he knew that she had turned her phone off…
Jiang Nanshu felt a little uneasy. She didn’t know why, but with a flick of her finger, all the messages disappeared. She didn’t want to see them.
Just as she was about to go to Zhou Zhenghui to inquire about the situation, news suddenly popped up on the page.
[Last night, heavy rain caused a serious landslide in the Cenling Mountain area of Gangcheng, resulting in two deaths and one serious injury. For details, please see the report…]
Cenling Mountain area.
Wasn’t that the place where she came to rescue Jiang Leyi yesterday?
The terrain there was indeed very steep.
Jiang Nanshu quickly clicked on the news article, which stated: “It has been confirmed that the victims were driving through a landslide area when the accident occurred. The deceaseds have been identified as ‘Jiang Mou1某, mǒu: some / a certain / sb or sth indefinite / such-and-such. I think it means someone with the surname Jiang. Maybe they don’t know the exact name of the victims, so it call like that.‘ and ‘Jiang Mou’. ‘Yuan Mou’, who is still in the hospital with serious injuries, was passing through the area when the accident happened.”
Dead?
It’s true what he says. Karma is a cycle.
Two of those three died in the accident without her having to lift a finger. Yuan Feng was seriously injured in the hospital; it was uncertain whether he could be saved.
This is exactly what the saying is, ‘trying to harm others but ending up harming yourself’, isn’t it?
Jiang Nanshu wanted to laugh. She wondered if Zhou Yanbai would be frightened when he saw this news.
He had ordered Jiang Hongfa to set Zhou Yanxu on fire and kill him, and now, he was repeating the same trick, having Jiang Hongfa, who had just been released from prison, kill Jiang Leyi.
Jiang Nanshu could guess his intentions even with her toes.
He might have discovered something and wanted to kill Jiang Leyi first, destroying the evidence, and then give Su Ran, whom he had chosen, to Zhou Zhenghui as his daughter.
What a pity.
He was still a step too late.
Jiang Nanshu immediately called Zhou Zhenghui to check on Jiang Leyi. She was relieved to learn that Jiang Leyi was out of danger but still unconscious and needed to rest.
As long as she’s okay, it’s fine.
She spoke only briefly.
She told him her location and asked him to ask the crew to ask for two days off for her, and then she hung up the phone.
The phone’s battery lasted less than five minutes before shutting off completely.
Jiang Nanshu didn’t want to charge her phone, hoping to spend two days quietly at Yulin Temple.
She waited for Zhou Yanxu in the corridor he always passed through.
He didn’t return until ten o’clock in the morning.
The first time he saw her, he was surprised: “You haven’t left yet?”
“Do you really want me to leave?” Jiang Nanshu asked, turning her head from the long wooden bench next to the crabapple tree.
They were so close that they could touch each other; he could reach her by going around a pillar.
But Zhou Yanxu was a proper man, not going beyond the boundaries.
“This is a temple, not suitable for tourists to stay here.”
“I’m sick. Can I get better first before I leave?”
Jiang Nanshu’s usually bright face now looked a little pale and frail.
Her lips, lightly pursed, were pale and a little chapped from dryness.
After a long pause, Zhou Yanxu said gently, “As you wish.”

Translator’s Comment:
Well, I think Xiao Jiang and Zhou Yanxu’s relationship is like a father-daughter bond or god-worshiper bond to me, no romantic involvement at all.
However, I am still shipping Xiao Jiang – Yanxu CP.
Author-sama, can you be kind to our Xiao Jiang?
I’m heartbroken!
