" ...It can't be the one I'm thinking of, right?"
"Who else is surnamed Xie?"
The sound of "沙沙沙" stopped, and a fortune slip fell to the ground.
Xie Guanhe picked up the fortune slip and glanced at it.
A lower-lower fortune slip.
He lowered his black eyes, his smile was sarcastic but extremely faint, he calmly put the fortune slip back in place, and bowed again. The beautiful beads reflected his pale and blue hands, making them look even more thin.
Xie Guanhe had just stood up and walked two steps when the person who had just entered immediately stared at his position, her steps were hurried and fast. The two security guards immediately became vigilant and were about to run over, Xie Guanhe also raised his eyebrows, he couldn't see her face very clearly in the backlight.
"Don't—"
One of the security guards hadn't finished shouting when the woman had already quickly brushed past Xie Guanhe, her flying hair brushed past his shoulder. The next second, she rushed to the futon and knelt down, raised her hand and grabbed the fortune slip tube on the table, and shook it towards the statue.
The security guard who had only shouted out a single word abruptly closed his mouth, Xie Guanhe was also stunned for two seconds, he turned his head.
He saw her black hair spread out behind her thin back, her profile was blocked by her black hair, only her pointed chin was exposed. When she knelt down respectfully, her black hair also fell on her shoulders, vaguely revealing her fragile, white, and delicate neck.
Xie Guanhe waved his hand, the two security guards relaxed their vigilance, he originally wanted to leave directly, but he couldn't help but turn back and whisper, "Putting your hands together is the Buddhist way of bowing, you should—"
"—"
He paused () , he felt that she might not understand if he just said that?()_[()]?『Come to []♂ to read the latest chapter♂ complete chapter』() , he said again, "You can ask the two Taoist priests over there to teach you."
Xie Guanhe waited for a few seconds, she was still kneeling on the futon, she didn't turn around, she didn't speak. She didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, her two hands were still holding the fortune slip tube, she lowered her head and stopped moving.
He couldn't see her face, he didn't know if she was making a wish, or simply didn't hear him, or... didn't know what to do. Thinking of the last possibility, he couldn't help but smile, he didn't know why he had this feeling.
Xie Guanhe turned around and left, his fingers twirled the beads.
When she heard the footsteps behind her fade away, Wen Zhijiao clenched the fortune slip tube, feeling a burning sensation from her ears to her face. Damn it! So embarrassing! It's good that I pretended not to hear and got away with it, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing!
Wen Zhijiao put down the fortune slip tube, checked the Taoist gestures, corrected them, and started shaking the fortune slips.
Get a lower-lower fortune slip, see if I can scare Jiang Yuancheng!
She spent the whole afternoon running around Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, she couldn't find anyone willing to cooperate, they all thought she was a crazy person making trouble! She finally worked up the courage to use a tough attitude to get rid of the bodyguards following her, and found them to negotiate alone!
Fifteen minutes later, Wen Zhijiao stared blankly at the eight upper-upper fortune slips in front of her, a sense of despair welled up in her heart.
It's over, the last trick didn't work either, will she really have to go out and pull someone to deceive Jiang Yuancheng? Jiang Yuancheng is a madman, not a fool, ordinary people won't be able to get information out of him, what if she's sold out?
Wen Zhijiao covered her forehead, tears were about to well up, she dejectedly supported the table and chair and got up to leave. Just then, her phone vibrated, she widened her eyes, it was a call from her mother.
As soon as she answered the phone, she covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.
"Jiaojiao, how are you doing recently?" On the other end, her mother started chattering, "I only found out a few days ago that your engagement party is going to be brought forward, I was waiting for you to call me, why are you silent now, you have to ask me?
"Mom..." Wen Zhijiao swallowed her sobs, her voice dragged on, "I... I..."
Her mother immediately heard something was wrong, and quickly said, "What's wrong? Did you suffer any injustice? Did the Jiang family give you a hard time? Or did they catch a mistress? Were you bullied?"
"No, no..." Wen Zhijiao hesitated for a moment, wanting to pour out all her words, but quickly, she realized that there was no use in saying it. What can I do? My family is barely considered wealthy, but in front of a behemoth like the Jiang family, they're just ants. She's never had any say, after a long time, she covered the phone receiver, sniffing as she walked out.
She walked for a long time, and when she listened to the phone again, her mother had already become a bomb, "What the hell happened!"
"I just don't want to do it so soon." Wen Zhijiao walked to a cherry blossom tree, she leaned against the trunk, sniffed, "I'm still studying, I don't want to get engaged."
Her mother was silent for a while, then said, "Do you not want to get engaged, or do you want to break up."
Wen Zhijiao bit her lip, a little broken, "What's the use of wanting? What can our family do—"
"Right, Mom..." Wen Zhijiao dragged out her voice, "Does Dad know those masters who can tell fortunes? Didn't he always say that our family's supermarket is so profitable because of the good location?"
Her free hand touched the rough bark of the tree (), she scratched, rubbed, and kneaded it. Not far away, the three-story building of the ancient and elegant Taoist temple was lit up, the gauze curtains were blown by the wind, revealing the scene inside. ()
In front of the ancient painting screen, Gu Ye hung his coat on the sofa, crossed his legs and sipped tea. On the main seat, Xie Guanhe was flipping through a document, a fat orange cat was heavily pressing on his document.

Xie Guanhe looked up, his voice was flat, "Take your gift away."
"No, let the temple keep it." Gu Ye laughed, "Be compassionate, look at this little fatty, how pitiful, it's obvious he hasn't eaten for a few minutes."
Xie Guanhe accurately grabbed the cat's scruff and said, "This isn't my Taoist temple."
"That's not true, you give an order, who dares to disobey?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh right, Jiang Yuancheng."
Xie Guanhe looked over, Gu Ye leaned forward, his voice was sarcastic, "He only listens to his little girlfriend, he's been played into a madman, even the engagement party has to be brought forward."
"It's good, he's been hiding so well, finally I have a chance to see him." Xie Guanhe said as he looked at the document, "But maybe he'll break another leg."
Gu Ye laughed wickedly, both of them had a smile in their eyes, and they said, "I saw her in Jiang Yuancheng's car yesterday, I wanted to say hello, but the noble Jiang General told me to get lost. I'm really convinced, how did he become like this, he didn't come to the party, he didn't answer calls, he didn't reply to messages, he just went to work and came home, it felt like he was being tied up like a dog."
"Click—"
The door lock was just turned, and a voice followed.
"Stuck in traffic, stuck in traffic, I'm late!" The voice was full of laughter, looking over, Pei Ye was wearing a baseball jersey and jeans, his smile was unrestrained, "You two weren't chatting, were you gossiping about me?"
"No, we were talking about Jiang Yuancheng." Gu Ye's expression was sincere, he seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, did you meet Wen Zhijiao when you were in Shengliu High School? I remember you skipped a grade when she was repeating the first year of high school."
Shengliu High School occupies a large area, with three grades in different areas, very far apart, usually no one would go to other departments unless it was necessary.
Pei Ye turned back to close the door, he said "Hmm", and after a few seconds said, "What's wrong?"
"Can you tell me, what's so special about Wen Zhijiao, that she can make Jiang Yuancheng become like this?" Gu Ye was very puzzled, after all, when they were in school, Jiang Yuancheng was a normal person except for being silent. How come he's like this now, he wants the whole world to be just him and Wen Zhijiao, he avoids all social interaction, and his temper is unpredictable.
"She ah, she's quite annoying." Pei Ye smiled, but he didn't sit down, he looked out the window, "I can't stand it, this place smells old every time I come."
Xie Guanhe paused while flipping through the document and said, "How is she annoying?"
"Just... she's timid and submissive, she doesn't say anything about anything, she's very easy to get angry but she holds it in, making people guess." Pei Ye yawned, his sharp teeth on both sides were sharp and cold. He paused for a few seconds, then said again, "As for her appearance, she's beautiful, but that's about it, I don't know what's so..."
He looked at the sky, at the dust on the window, and then he saw the flower petals blown by the wind in the distance. The flower petals swirled with the wind, Pei Ye's gaze followed the falling petals, and he saw the person standing under the tree making a phone call.
"Why did you stop?"
"I said, I don't know what's so likeable about her."
"Next time, add a '的', I can't stand grammatical errors."
Gu Ye smiled and poured himself some tea. He was about to continue being a nuisance, but he heard a ringing sound, and then Pei Ye hurried out.
"Wait, the phone is ringing, I'll go out and answer it."
Pei Ye closed the door.
Inside the room, Xie Guanhe paused and said, "Is that a phone ringing?"
Gu Ye: "It's an alarm clock."
He finished speaking and laughed.
The little guy, he answered an alarm clock and left?!
