Chapter 67

The design of the Baita Temple was refined and serene. Outside the temple was a winding stone staircase. As Lisa climbed the stairs with Jungkook, she heard him asked, "What is your heart's desire?"

"What is your heart desire?" Lisa raised her head and looked at him.

Jungkook stared at her does eyes. In her large shining pupils, he saw a reflection of himself. His heart started beating a little erratically and he asked somewhat lightly, "Do you really want to know?"

"Go ahead".

"My----"

That exact moment, someone behind them complained disgruntledly. "Hey, are you two moving or not?"

The two of them could only return to climbing stairs.

They did not exchange another word on the way up.

After stepping into the Baita Temple, Jungkook expressed astonishment at the immense crowd they saw on their way to the top. He raised his phone, intending to capture a photo of the sea of people.

Lisa disdained him for being a country bumpkin.

Jungkook stood below the main hall. Behind him was a raised stone platform around 45 cm in height. Above it was yet another more magnificent-looking stone platform, on which the main hall was built.

Lisa hopped on the first stone platform and stood behind Jungkook. She finally had the chance to tower over him. Jungkook's head was well-formed and his hair shone a healthy black. Near the top of his head was a neat and pretty-looking hair whorl.

Lisa was engrossed with observing him and could not resist reaching out to touch his head.

Jungkook's hair was a bit stiff. She could sense the heat from his scalp through the hair strands. He was like a mini-furnace at any time of the day.

"Jungkook, I can finally reach your head it's coconut head hahaha". Lisa exclaimed gleefully.

To her surprise, Jungkook did not balk. He even said patiently to her, "Be careful that you don't fall".

At his words, Lisa felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. Her lips quirked and she went on to ruffle his hair messily like how he once did it to her bangs.

She was having enormous fun when a man carrying a child on his back passed by her from behind. The child held a large pinwheel in his hand that flapped noisily in the wind. As the pinwheel was extended quite far out, it accidentally jabbed the back of Lisa's head, giving her  a huge shock. "Ouch!"

Jungkook reacted quickly; he immediately spun around and caught her with one arm.

Lisa held onto Jungkook's shoulder and turned to see that the culprit was a pinwheel. Both adult and child apologized to her.

"It's fine, it's fine", As Lisa replied, she pushed Jungkook gently, wanting to nudge him away.

Jungkook did not release her. Instead, he tightened his grip and suddenly lifted her down the stone platform singlehandedly. He moved very quickly, not giving her any time to resist him. When she realized what had happened, both her feet had left the platform and were dangling in the air. Jungkook's arm was placed across the back of her knees as he held her like how one holds a child. Lisa was both nervous and also slightly thrilled. At the same time, she also felt a tiny of embarrassment.

Jungkook bent to put down. When Lisa's feet retouched the ground, she heard Jungkook said, "Your figure is not bad".

Whooosh----

Her face turned crimson.

Feeling the welling heat on her face and attempting to pretend that nothing was wrong, Lisa drew even more attention to her embarrassment by drawing up the hood on her shirt to cover her face.
