“What are you looking at?”
Hearing the question, Lu Qingyan turned around and smiled indulgently at her, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
The two of them left without looking back.
Zhou Yanxu then slowly walked out from behind the obscured door.
He gazed at the empty stairs for a long time.
The young monk ran over: “Uncle Guiyuan, why did that female benefactor leave without a word? I just went to look for her, wanting to ask if she’d had lunch.”
“Jingyou, take good care of the temple.”
The young monk had a bad feeling: “Uncle Guiyuan, where are you going?”
Zhou Yanxu raised his hand and stroked his smooth head, smiling gently: “Jingyou, I’ll be back later. Take good care of the abbot.”
“Ah? You’ve been gone for two years, and you’re only staying for one night. When will I see you again?” The young monk fumed, a little annoyed.
“I’ll be back when fate has us.”
After saying that, Zhou Yanxu left.
The young monk snorted, “That’s that line again.”
…
Lu Qingyan’s car was parked downstairs.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu looking dizzy, he squatted down and let her lie on his back, then he carried her down.
Jiang Nanshu was responsible for holding the umbrella so that neither of them would get wet.
Perhaps the atmosphere was a little quiet, so Lu Qingyan tried to find a topic.
“Is it fun in the temple?”
“Not fun. It’s just a bunch of monks. What’s fun to do there? I won’t come again next time.” Jiang Nanshu’s voice was a little hoarse and listless.
“Are you sure you’re not coming?” Lu Qingyan asked again.
Jiang Nanshu was a little puzzled: “You want me to come? Are you hoping I’ll become a monk?”
Lu Qingyan: “…”
Actually… just now… he seemed to see Zhou Yanxu…
He was standing right at the door.
The dead man was standing alive in front of him, and he almost lost control of his facial expression.
This was simply a medical miracle.
“If you don’t want to come, then don’t…”
“Oh.”
He packed her into the car.
The road was relatively smooth.
Jiang Nanshu leaned back in the car seat and closed her eyes to sleep.
For the first time, Lu Qingyan experienced what it felt like to be ignored.
He must be seriously ill.
The old Jiang Nanshu had been clinging to him, and he’d found it annoying.
The current Jiang Nanshu kept a distance from him, and he resented her lack of clinginess.
And, he had discovered the reason Jiang Nanshu had ignored so many of his messages.
Because she’d found someone she loved.
Lu Qingyan wanted to laugh, but he also felt sad inside.
He should have just dumped her at the temple gate, but he worried that she’d get sick and rushed her to the hospital first.
Her despair, her heartbreak, none of it belonged to him.
He also wanted to ask Jiang Nanshu.
What was he to her?
A spare tire, or perhaps a springboard for her to complete the mission?
But he couldn’t ask.
He was afraid the peace he’d maintained with Jiang Nanshu would crumble.
Wait a little longer, spend more time with her.
He’ll definitely make her like him, too.
…
Lu Qingyan took Jiang Nanshu to the nearest hospital.
A temperature check showed 39.5.
She was delirious with fever, and Lu Qingyan cared for her the entire time.
When she woke up in the hospital bed, it was already dark.
A needle prick appeared on the back of her hand.
Lu Qingyan stood by the window with his back to her, making a phone call.
“I’ll reassure the partners when I get back. I’m currently in Hong Kong and can’t get away. If they can’t wait, then tell them not to wait.”
The phone hung up, only to ring again the next second.
He hadn’t even had a chance to catch his breath.
Then he answered the phone.
“Grandpa, I really can’t come back. I’ve already explained it to my partner. Nan Nan is sick in Hong Kong. How can I leave?”
