There was a lotus pond in the Lotus Temple, and the phoenix girl was sitting by the lotus pond.
The lotus had already bloomed and was nowhere to be seen. The lotus leaves couldn't stand the cold and started to wither. The yellow leaves and broken branches added a sad autumn thought.
The rain continued to fall, and it didn't look like it would stop anytime soon.
The raindrops fell into the pond and formed shallow ripples. It looked very beautiful.
The phoenix's robe had long been soaked by the rain and stuck to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.
However, the most uncomfortable thing was her heart.
The lotus pond was some distance away from the temple, but because Fang Yan was shouting so loudly, every word he said could be clearly heard in the quiet backyard.
She remembered every single thing that Fang Yan had said clearly.
Because she wasn't studying in Swallow Dock, she could only come over during the winter and summer holidays. Therefore, Fang Yan looked forward to the winter and summer holidays every year. After the summer holidays, he looked forward to the winter holidays, and after the winter holidays, he looked forward to the summer holidays.
Because he saw her weave wild flowers into a wreath and wear it on her head, he went to the mountains every day to pick fresh wild flowers.
Because she was crazy about the cool and handsome Rukawa Kaede after watching "Slam Dunk", he went to Yanjing and had his hair cut exactly like Rukawa Kaede. At that time, she even laughed that the hairstyle made his head look bigger.
She could remember everything.
But, so what?
After a birthday party, when all the friends at home had left, her parents solemnly brought her to the sealed study and earnestly advised her to stay away from Fang Yan.
From then on, she knew that she and Fang Yan would never be together.
She ignored his flattery, but she couldn't refuse his approach.
She had made up her mind again and again, but each time she had planned it with the idea that tomorrow would begin.
It wasn't until she realized that she couldn't control her feelings for him that she knew it was dangerous to continue developing like this. Therefore, she accepted Bai Xiu's pursuit and became his girlfriend.
That was the first time she accompanied Bai Xiu to admire the snow in the village. That was the first time she held hands with a boy other than Fang Yan. That day, she saw Fang Yan, the fool who hid in the corner and did not dare to come out.
She didn't know how long Fang Yan stayed in that corner, but she knew how long her heart ached.
Later on, every time she returned to Swallow Dock, she would purposely walk to that corner to have a look.
She really wanted to experience the feeling of that handsome and mischievous big boy curled up here, watching the girl he liked and another boy hugging and admiring the snow. What kind of feeling would that be?
She really wanted to experience it!
"An Xiaoxiao, can you hear me?" Fang Yan's voice was still clearly transmitted to her ears. There was no point in deliberately running so far away to hide. "I said I like you, did you hear me? I owe you a face-to-face confession, and you owe me a face-to-face rejection. Why are you hiding like this? "
Phoenix's eyes reddened, and big tears rolled down her cheeks.
The words of love that he couldn't say back then still made her cry like a fool.
"An Xiaoxiao, you know me. You know me better than anyone else, so you should understand that if you don't give me a clear answer, I won't leave. I'll sit in this temple, I'll stand guard at the entrance of this hall. I don't believe you can hide from me forever. An Xiaoxiao, come out quickly." Fang Yan's expression was conflicted as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Because he was too emotional, the wound on his chest was affected again.
Fang Yan coughed violently, and his phlegm carried traces of dark red blood.
Song Transplanting's palm strike was too heavy and almost took Fang Yan's life. Although he had been treated by Tianjizi, he still couldn't be too emotional.
Fang Yan snuck out. With his current physical condition, if Tianjizi knew that he wanted to come out to find Phoenix, he wouldn't allow him to go out.
"So touching." A young nun looked at Fang Yan with a flushed face and said, "If I had such a man, it would be worth dying."
"If he had treated me like this back then, I wouldn't have." A middle-aged nun sighed sadly.
"Benefactor." The old nun took out a white handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Fang Yan, saying, "Don't be impatient. I'll go in and persuade her."
Fang Yan took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth. With a face full of gratitude, he said to the old nun, "Thank you, Master. I've disturbed the peace of Buddhism. I'm a sinner. But if I don't disturb her this time, I'm not a man. "
"I understand. I understand. " The old nun had a gentle smile on her face as she nodded and said, "I've seen and heard too much about young people's love affairs. When young people make mistakes, even Buddha will forgive them. But don't be too emotional. That will hurt your body. "
"I understand." Fang Yan nodded and said, "Master, can you go in and help me persuade her again and ask her to come out and see me?"
"I promise you." The old nun said. "What if she still doesn't want to?"
"Then I'll shout for a while more." Fang Yan said. "Her heart is soft. She'll be willing. It's like this every time. "
"— —"
When the old nun was about to go in and persuade Phoenix, she turned around and stopped.
Phoenix came out!
Phoenix, with messy red hair and a plain robe, stood behind the nuns. Because she was too tall, she didn't have any obstructions in the field of vision.
She looked at Fang Yan with teary eyes and said in a sobbing voice, "You know, this is the most embarrassing time for me to see anyone. The person I don't want to see the most is you. Why did you come here?"
"I'm afraid that if I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to see you for the rest of my life." Fang Yan said with a smile. He was very happy that Phoenix finally appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Phoenix asked.
"To take you back." Fang Yan said.
"Impossible." Phoenix said. "I've already decided, if you didn't knock on the door and disturb me, I would've already shaved my head and become a nun."
Fang Yan laughed happily and said, "That's why I said that our fate in the mortal world is not over yet. Why didn't you shave yesterday? Why didn't you shave the day before yesterday? Why did you shave today when I came? Not the second before, not the second after, but when I knocked on the door. Even Buddha couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to accept you as his disciple. So, don't go against Buddha's wishes. "
Fang Yan reached out to Phoenix and said, "Come back with me."
Phoenix shook her head and said, "Fang Yan, I'm not going back. I don't want to go back."
Fang Yan became anxious and said, "How can you do that? Once our child is born, how can you take care of it by yourself? Besides, if a nun in the nunnery gives birth to a child, if this kind of thing accidentally gets out … "
The face of the abbot of the Lotus Temple, old nun Qingzhi, was pale. She looked at Phoenix with a frightened face and said, "Miss, are you pregnant?"
"No." Phoenix denied. "Master, I'm not pregnant, I'm still … He deliberately deceived you, because he didn't want you to take me in. This is his shameless style of doing things. "
Old nun Qingzhi looked at Phoenix with a solemn expression and said, "Miss, monks don't lie. Speak the truth and be honest. You can't deceive Buddha. If you are really pregnant, you should return to the secular world and get married and have children. This is a nunnery, we also have to take our reputation into consideration. If the nuns in the nunnery give birth, the impact will be too bad. "
Phoenix bowed to old nun Qingzhi and said, "Master, I'm willing to swear to Buddha that every word I said is true. Absolutely not a word of falsehood. "
Old nun Qingzhi nodded and said, "We won't meddle in the affairs of you young people. The male benefactor's eyes are clear, he's not an untrustworthy person. I hope you will reconsider. "
Phoenix bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."
Phoenix walked in front of Fang Yan and said, "This is a quiet place of Buddhism, let's go out for a walk."
"Okay." Fang Yan said.
So, Phoenix walked in front and Fang Yan followed closely behind. The two walked out of the door of the Lotus Temple and walked toward the forest in front.
It was drizzling, and the mountain flowers were in full bloom.
The young man and woman walked on the path in the forest. The path was steep and slippery. Fang Yan carefully guarded behind Phoenix, worried that she would accidentally fall.
When Fang Yan was thinking about this, Phoenix suddenly stopped, pointed to the grass in front and said, "Rabbit — I just saw a rabbit —"
When they were in Swallow Dock, Fang Yan and Phoenix would take a walk in the back mountain. Every time they saw animals like rabbits and pheasants, Phoenix would be so happy, as if she had discovered a new continent.
Every time that happened, Fang Yan would pick up a stone from the ground and throw it over.
Pa —
After a crisp sound, the rabbit or pheasant would become food in their pot.
When he was with Fang Yan, Fang Yan never thought about his image. He was willing to show his truest side to her.
He wouldn't pretend to be gentle, and he wouldn't pretend to be kind. He wouldn't deliberately show that he liked small animals — he really liked them.
He really liked to eat them!
While speaking, her feet slipped, and her body tilted and fell down the slope.
Fang Yan was overjoyed, knowing that his chance to be a hero and save the beauty had come —
He leaned forward and reached out to hug Phoenix's body.
His body felt like it was being torn apart, and his movements became a little slow because of illness.
He was a step too slow!
Crack —
Phoenix's body fell heavily onto the wet haystack.
"Fang Yan —" Phoenix shouted through gritted teeth, "You should let me be a monk."
