C160 It Turns out That You Are also Here
Who could it be on the other side?
He realized that he was looking forward to it. Maybe Mu Chen was the one facing him, and his heart was filled with warmth and excitement, but he suddenly remembered something. Mu Chen and Xu Yanlin went to the King Jing Palace to find the King Jing s to drink and chat.
A mocking smile rose from the corner of his mouth. When he looked at the fluttering red line once again, his fervent desire was gone.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going to go take a look?" Seeing the red line on Shen Jingli's wrist swaying, Yang Ningxiu could not help but ask.
Shen Jingli's face did not show any signs of curiosity, as if he was not the least bit interested in the person facing him. Yang Ningxiu felt that it was a little strange, most people would be interested in this kind of situation, and couldn't wait to see what really happened.
"14 isn't here, it's useless to look." Not the person he wanted, he didn't even have the mood to look forward to it.
Yang Ningxiu looked at him in a daze. He stood under the marriage tree and raised her head to look at the full moon in the sky. Her delicate and pretty face revealed a gentle smile.
She suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart, and was incomparably envious of Shen Jingli and Mu Chen. She thought in her heart, if she could meet someone she liked in this life, even if it meant losing her lifespan by a few years, she would still be willing.
Yang Ningxiu looked at the red line on her wrist in anticipation. She wondered what kind of person would appear at the other end of the red line.
Shen Jingli thought for a while, untied the red thread tied to his wrist, and tied it to a branch of the Marriage Tree. He turned his head, and saw Yang Ningxiu lost in thought while looking into the distance.
He reached out to touch her. "Aren't you going forward? I heard that one end of the red line is opposite of the Lotus Pond. "
A little further up the tree was a lotus pond. There were all sorts of lotuses inside, and there were even carp and turtles released by the pilgrims.
Yang Ningxiu was frightened and hurriedly waved her hand. In her heart, there was anticipation, and taking the initiative to look for them were two different concepts. At the moment, she didn't have the courage to do so.
"It's not like I'm forcing you to get married. There's no need to put on such a difficult expression." Shen Jingli said.
Looking at her terrified expression, those who didn't know what was going on would think that she was being coerced.
"Once a year, we'll take the opportunity to move forward. What if we really meet the right person?" If not for the fact that he had already given his all to Mu Chen, he would have come over to him out of curiosity.
Shen Jingli made a gesture to cheer his up, not caring if she understood what he meant or not, he turned around to look for Nannan and Lei Zixuan who were playing nearby.
The city was bustling with activity. There were too many people around, so it wasn't safe to just let the two kids play by themselves.
Nannan and Lei Zixuan were playing on the other side of the marriage tree. The two of them squatted on the ground and wrapped a few red strings around a turtle's body that had climbed onto the shore for some reason.
"Nannan." Shen Jingli called out to her.
Nannan raised his head. Seeing that it was Shen Jingli, she grinned and picked up a turtle that was the size of a grapefruit and said happily: "Aunt, we picked up a turtle."
The slow-moving turtle stuck its neck out, then retracted it, as if it didn't care about what was going on outside.
"You guys are great." Shen Jingli praised them as he reached out to rub the two little kids' heads. Nannan immediately laughed with satisfaction, and even Lei Zixuan secretly laughed.
"Let's go. I'll take you guys for a walk around the surrounding stalls." He picked one up with each hand and walked towards the stall.
"Alright." Nannan replied sweetly, and then threw the turtle to the side.
"..."
In the empty space outside the temple, there were two rows of stalls. Most of them were selling marriage strings, marriage seals and other items related to marriage, while some of them were selling female items and food.
"Are you hungry?" Shen Jingli lowered his head and asked.
Nannan tilted her head, looking at Shen Jingli with a silly and adorable expression, she then hugged her own stomach and laughed foolishly, "I'm a little hungry."
Lei Zixuan who was at the side proudly raised his head, snorted, and ridiculed: "Little glutton."
As soon as she said that, his own stomach started growling. Nannan immediately covered her mouth and started laughing, quietly hiding behind Shen Jingli and saying: "Gulp gulp, gulp gulp …"
Lei Zixuan's face flushed red. He turned his head unhappily and was still fuming.
Shen Jingli looked at his arrogant and lovable appearance and thought that it was really funny.
"Boss, what do you have to eat here?"
The stalls outside the temple were all makeshift. They were usually used to sell pancakes, pancakes, buns, etc. Very few were used to sell Soup Noodles, Cloud Swallow etc. This was because it was not convenient to set up a stove.
"There are steaming hot steamed buns and glutinous rice chicken. What would you like me to order?" The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was a bit thin, but his face was fleshy and he had a pair of jowls.
"What's wrong with Steamed Bun?"
The medium sized steamer opened its lid, following the steam, a strong fragrance from it could be smelled. Lei Zixuan took a deep breath, looked at the steamed buns that were of different colors, but were equally plump and attractive, and felt even hungrier.
He swallowed his saliva, looking at the full and cute bun with anticipation, then looked at Shen Jingli.
"After the guests have eaten and watched, you will understand."
It seemed that the boss was very confident in the steamed buns he made.
"Give me three steamed buns and a glutinous rice chicken." Shen Jingli said.
The steamed buns cost ten gold coins each, and the glutinous rice chicken cost twenty-five gold coins each. Shen Jingli paid thirty-five gold coins and led the two to a table in the stall.
Once he sat down, Lei Zixuan didn't care about the steamed bun in the oily paper anymore. He bit open the soft and tender skin of the bun, causing a strong smell of meat to spread out from the hole he had just bitten into. After taking a deep breath, he immediately took another bite into the bun.
The three of them had surprisingly identical expressions. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at the steamed bun in their hands as if it were a priceless treasure.
Only after they finished the steamed buns in their hands, did they have the leisure to express their thoughts.
"It's a steamed bun with bamboo shoots. I've never eaten such a delicious meat bun before." Lei Zixuan rubbed his stomach, looking satisfied.
"Nannan also thinks that this bun is really delicious." The Nannan continued, "Aunt, buy one for mother too. Let mother have one too."
Nannan was indeed a well-behaved child, whatever good stuff she had she wanted to share with Yang Ningxiu.
"I want to buy it for my dad too." Lei Zixuan was not to be outdone.
Shen Jingli could do nothing about them, he bought a few more buns, and when they left with the buns, he heard someone complain, "Old Qiu, are you done selling your buns again? Why is it selling so fast? "Why don't you make a bigger steamer and sell more?"
It was only then that Shen Jingli found out that this delicious steamed bun was actually sold at limited quantities. This uncle who sold steamed buns was pretty impressive too.
"Mother will definitely be very happy to eat such a delicious bun." Nannan hugged the oilpaper buns as a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
That bun was fresh from the oven, it was so hot that it could burn one's hands. Shen Jingli was afraid that she would burn it, so he wanted to take it himself, but Nannan was unwilling, he had to give it to his personally.
However, Nannan seemed to be unable to feel Steamed Bun's heat.
"..."
raised his head and looked in that direction. Yang Ningxiu was standing in the middle of the stone bridge on the pond, her wrist gently pulled up, and on the opposite shore, there was a man wearing a Thunder Mask, his entire body emitting an unapproachable aura, holding onto the other end of the red line.
"It's mother." Passing through the crowd, Nannan saw Yang Ningxiu who was standing in the middle of the bridge with a single glance, "Mother is on the bridge."
Lei Zixuan squeezed forward excitedly and shouted, "Where is he? "Where is it?"
"On the bridge." Nannan took out her small hand and pointed it at Lei Zixuan, smiling gently like a blooming hibiscus, pure and cute.
Lei Zixuan was startled for a moment, then turned his head awkwardly, with a young and tender face.
The cool breeze of early spring caressed the green lotus leaves. The fragrance of the peach blossoms seemed to ripple in the air.
Yang Ningxiu held onto the red line tightly, after hesitating for a moment, she walked towards the man, with many spectators behind, shouting and encouraging her.
When Yang Ningxiu was a meter away from him, Lei Zhen reached out and took off Lei Gongzi's mask, only to see a flash of astonishment in the eyes of the woman in front of him, as if she was asking "how could it be you".
The other party knew him?
Before this thought had fully formed in his mind, he had already reached out to take off the other party's mask. The instant their gazes met, both of them seemed to be exclaiming in admiration. Ah, it's him!
"What a coincidence." Yang Ningxiu sighed with emotion. When she met her son and his father before, what fate did she have with his family?
"Indeed." Lei Zhen nodded.
After he finished discussing business, he went back home and heard that his son had run away, so he came out to look for someone. He didn't expect that he would be entangled by a red line on one side of the temple, and he also didn't expect that she was the other side of the red line, the person who had saved his son's life.
Was it fate?
Why do I feel my heart burning slightly?
"Father …"
"Mother …"
The two voices sounded out at the same time, they turned to look at the other side, only to see Lei Zixuan and Nannan struggling free, and running towards them.
The surrounding people instantly revealed a look of understanding. So these two were husband and wife, they were truly fortunate to have received Yue Lao's care.
Looking at everyone's envious expression and hearing those sour discussions, Shen Jingli felt it was funny. He lowered his head, his eyebrows raised with an unspeakable deeper meaning.
Heart inexplicably slightly hot, he turned around, a familiar figure into the dark brown eyes, his mouth slightly open in astonishment, and looked at that person through the crowd.
"Why are you here?" He opened his mouth, but it was just a silent sentence. He was laughing at himself from the bottom of his heart. Even he couldn't hear his own voice, so how could he hear his own? Like an idiot.
But he seemed to be able to see it clearly. His gentle gaze focused into a sentence, because you are here. You are, so I am.
Shen Jingli felt like he had eaten too much sugar, it was sweet to the point of being greasy. With a smile like the spring rain, he looked at the person walking towards him, which was stuck in his throat, and blurted out two words, "Zi An."
