When Ruan Qiuqiu woke up, her mind was a mess.
She only remembered sitting on the sofa and playing with her phone. Then, she had no recollection of how she returned to the bedroom and how she fell asleep on the bed.
"Ah."
She drank!
Ruan Qiuqiu put on her slippers, rubbed her eyes, and opened the door. Cheng Jun was leaning against the table, looking at his phone while eating a frozen rice ball. Ruan Qiuqiu asked subconsciously, "Did you take the rice ball out of the fridge for a while?"
Cheng Jun nodded. Ruan Qiuqiu had told him many times. Although he found it troublesome, he still did it.
"That's good."
Ruan Qiuqiu tousled her hair and continued to ask embarrassedly, "Was I drunk last night?"
Cheng Jun was silent.
"I didn't go crazy, right?" Ruan Qiuqiu had lost her memory. She was afraid that she would do something inappropriate like last time.
Cheng Jun said slowly, "You kicked me."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "???"
She actually kicked him?!
Seeing that Cheng Jun didn't seem to be lying, Ruan Qiuqiu said awkwardly, "I didn't kick … um, some important part."
Cheng Jun's eyes drifted for a moment. Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help but feel more nervous.
"Don't tell me —"
"My waist hurts."
"Waist?! … Oh, it's your waist. "Ruan Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Jun asked faintly, "Where did you think it was?"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Ruan Qiuqiu chose not to answer this question.
She turned and went to the bathroom to wash up. Cheng Jun continued to eat his rice ball. After a few minutes, Ruan Qiuqiu's extremely surprised voice came from the bathroom.
"Hey! What's wrong with my neck? Why is there a red swelling? "
Cheng Jun almost choked on his rice ball.
Ruan Qiuqiu pushed open the bathroom door. She pulled open her collar and pointed to her neck at Cheng Jun. There was a bright red mark on the right side of her slender neck. It was so eye-catching in contrast with her fair skin.
The two of them looked at each other. Cheng Jun's expression stiffened.
Ruan Qiuqiu: "Don't tell me …"
Cheng Jun: "…"
Ruan Qiuqiu said, "Is there a bug in the house? Oh no, oh no, you should go back to the supermarket to buy insecticides and eradicate it as soon as possible. "
Cheng Jun: "…"
Ruan Qiuqiu really didn't think too much about it, so Mr. Cheng successfully escaped suspicion. Ruan Qiuqiu looked in the mirror for a long time with a depressed face. Being bitten in such an obvious place looked really unsightly. If it didn't disappear for a few days, it would be bad if colleagues in the company gossiped.
She found a concealer and carefully applied layer after layer on the red and swollen area. After making sure that it didn't look too obvious, she returned to the living room.
Cheng Jun ate a rice ball for a long time, which made Ruan Qiuqiu wonder if he had something on his mind.
"Did you not sleep well last night? Why do I feel like you're acting weird? "
Cheng Jun looked at her, and the image of Ruan Qiuqiu last night appeared in his mind. She lay on the bed, looking charming and beautiful as she called out to her brother in a drunken stupor.
"The rice balls don't taste good," he said.
Ruan Qiuqiu believed him.
"Oh, then don't buy this flavor next time."
Cheng Jun bought the medicine, and under Ruan Qiuqiu's command, he "killed the insects" in every room. To Ruan Qiuqiu's disappointment, after a few days, not to mention insects, she didn't even see a leg.
Maybe the insecticides were not effective enough, or maybe the insects predicted the impending danger and moved away in advance.
But since that day, Ruan Qiuqiu was never bitten by insects again, which could be said to be a relief.
After a spring rain, the cherry and apricot flowers in the nearby park bloomed. The delicate flower buds and branches, the fragrant grass was delicious, and the falling petals were in full profusion, which attracted everyone to go for an outing. Before there were too many people to step on the flowers, Ruan Qiuqiu found some free time and took Cheng Jun to enjoy the flowers.
Of course, one had to wear a beautiful dress to enjoy the flowers. Ruan Qiuqiu wore a blue dress, which made her gorgeous and moving. She was happy all the way and was ready to take a few good photos.
Of course, if Cheng Jun could count on her, it would be better.
Ruan Qiuqiu reminded Cheng Jun all the way, "Listen to me later, and take whatever I say."
Cheng Jun: "Okay."
"If I look ugly in the photos, I will bear a grudge." Ruan Qiuqiu warned.
Cheng Jun: "Okay."
"… You are so confident!"
Cheng Jun promised so calmly, but Ruan Qiuqiu still couldn't trust him. She was prepared for the possibility of being angered by a straight man's aesthetic photos.
There weren't many people at this time, but the appearance of the two was still the focus of attention. Fortunately, Ruan Qiuqiu had foresight. The two of them each wore a pair of sunglasses, which covered half of their faces.
They didn't look like they were here to enjoy the flowers, but to walk on the T stage.
… So, they became more eye-catching.
Ruan Qiuqiu took Cheng Jun to the uninhabited bushes. When they looked up, they could see the blooming flowers, delicate and beautiful, full of the beauty of spring. Ruan Qiuqiu took a deep breath and said happily, "It's so good, I haven't walked like this in a long time."
Cheng Jun suddenly looked at her.
Ruan Qiuqiu asked, "Eh? Why are you looking at me? "
Then she realized that at this time, the male lead would usually say that the female lead was more beautiful than the flowers. Cheng Jun was probably thinking about how to phrase it.
In order to take some beautiful photos today, she had specially put on makeup. Although Cheng Jun was a little straight, it didn't mean that he didn't have the ability to appreciate beauty.
Cheng Jun said slowly, "There is something on your face."
"…"
At this time, Ruan Qiuqiu was very embarrassed.
"Where is it? You helped me wipe it off, don't tell me it's because of the makeup? "
Cheng Jun wiped the so-called dirt on her left face with his hand and wiped it clean. Ruan Qiuqiu realized that something was wrong and quickly picked up her phone to turn on the front camera.
Cheng Jun emphasized that he wiped it very clean and didn't leave any traces.
Ruan Qiuqiu glared at him and said, "Why did you wipe off the mole I painted!" She had painstakingly found a place to touch it! It was for the photo effect!
Cheng Jun had been hammered before he began to prepare to take photos of Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Qiuqiu's mood was very bad because of the lack of a beauty mole, especially when facing such an unreliable photographer like Cheng Jun. Ruan Qiuqiu taught him how to find an angle to take the photo while posing and waiting for Cheng Jun to take photos of her.
Cheng Juan's performance was very professional, like a seasoned professional photographer. He calmly adjusted the focus and aimed at Ruan Qiuqiu.
"Click! Click! "
The photos were taken one after another. When Cheng Jun signaled that the photo taking was over, Ruan Qiuqiu quickly ran forward to see the effect of Cheng Jun's photo.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a very good shot.
The beauty in the photo was like a flower in the clouds, smiling faintly in the shadows of the branches and leaves. She was like a flower demon in the forest, pure but with a kind of unconsciously amorous feeling. The location was very good, the angle was good, and the focus was just right. It could be said that it was a very good photo, and there was basically no need to edit it later.
Ruan Qiuqiu was really shocked. "What happened to you? Why did your skills improve by leaps and bounds? "
Cheng Jun answered slowly, "I learned a little. It's very simple. "
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
Why did she always feel that her IQ was being crushed?
Cheng Jun took several photos of Ruan Qiuqiu. Ruan Qiuqiu held the camera and wanted to take photos of him, but was rejected by Cheng Jun. Cheng Jun said, "I don't like to take photos."
"Okay."
Ruan Qiuqiu hugged the camera and said, "I originally planned to take a few photos together, but forget it. We'll talk about it next time."
"Photos together are okay."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "Huh?"
Cheng Jun repeated, "Photos together are okay."
Since Cheng Jun said that it was okay, Ruan Qiuqiu happily picked up the camera and took photos of the two of them. She held Cheng Jun's arm with one hand and intimately leaned on Cheng Jun's shoulder. The man beside her instantly stiffened, but on the surface, he still looked as calm as water.
The picture froze at this moment.
Ruan Qiuqiu retracted her arm and looked at the photos in the camera. She blinked and asked, "Why is your face suddenly so red?"
When he raised his head, Cheng Jun had returned to normal. In the face of Ruan Qiuqiu's question, he answered very calmly.
"I'm wearing too much."
With that, he held Ruan Qiuqiu's hand. "Let's go see the flowers."
Cheng Jun did not let go of her hand along the way. His palm was wide and warm, and he held Ruan Qiuqiu's hand the whole time. The two of them walked quietly side by side in the bushes, and Ruan Qiuqiu could not help but feel that this experience was very beautiful. It was as if she had been fed a piece of honey. Her heart was sweet, and it was as if even the smell in the air had become a sweet smell.
Cheng Jun's gaze was accurate. "There are pastries in front. I'll buy a few pieces."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "???"
Sure enough, the sweet smell was not imagination. There was really a small stall selling food. There were all kinds of exquisite pastries in the stall. Ruan Qiuqiu took a look at the cherry blossom glutinous rice cake and said, "Give me a few of this."
The soft pastries seemed to melt in her mouth, and there was a sweet and sticky taste in her mouth. It was very delicious.
Cheng Jun waved his hand. "Give me five of each."
"Hey, can you finish it?"
As soon as Ruan Qiuqiu said that, she knew that she had asked too much. Cheng Jun only had enough to eat, so how could there be a time when he could not finish it?
Since a big customer had come, the boss happily packed the pastries and gave them a few more pieces. He handed them to the two of them very enthusiastically. "Are you going to the temple later?"
"Temple? Is there a temple nearby? "
"Yes, I heard that it has been worshiped since the Tang Dynasty. It's very efficacious. You can ask for a marriage, a career, or anything. You two are a young couple. It's good to go and say goodbye. If you don't believe this, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Hahahaha! "
Ruan Qiuqiu originally did not believe in ghosts and gods at all. She claimed to be an atheist, but she had experienced the absurd thing of transmigrating to another world. How could she believe that there were no gods in this world? Thinking about it, it was really strange. A year ago, she was still living alone in a small city, thinking that she would live alone in this world forever.
But now …
Her hand was still held by Cheng Jun. Their fingertips touched and entwined together. Cheng Jun held her hand very tightly and had no intention of letting go.
"Since we're already at the temple, let's go and take a look."
Everything that had happened today was very strange. Ruan Qiuqiu just wanted to pray for her and Cheng Jun. She hoped that their days would be smoother and that Cheng Jun would not encounter any disasters.
Cheng Jun was holding the snacks wrapped in a paper bag in one hand and holding Ruan Qiuqiu's hand with the other. When he heard Ruan Qiuqiu's words, he looked at her. His eyelids, which were usually lowered, were now fixed on Ruan Qiuqiu. She was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, Cheng Jun said, "Forget it."
Ruan Qiuqiu begged, "It's on the way. Let's go and take a look. I haven't been to the temple for a long time. Can you accompany me? "
Cheng Jun was silent for a few seconds. In the end, he could not refuse.
"Okay."
Along the way, Cheng Jun did not eat snacks as usual. Instead, he remained silent and held Ruan Qiuqiu's hand even tighter. In the past, it was common for the two to not talk while walking on the road. However, Ruan Qiuqiu felt a little awkward at this moment. The reason was that Cheng Jun's aura was different from before. His whole body exuded a low pressure, so stuffy that it made people breathless.
Ruan Qiuqiu turned to look at him. Cheng Jun's side profile was very good-looking. The lines of his chin were sharp, and the bridge of his nose was tall and delicate. When he pursed his lips, his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, which made him look even more unapproachable.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Qiuqiu asked, "Do you not like temples?"
Cheng Jun: "No."
"Then why do you look unhappy? Are you hungry?" Ruan Qiuqiu could only think of a reason related to food.
"Probably," Cheng Jun replied.
Ruan Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it! When we come out of the temple later, we'll find a restaurant to have a big meal. I remember there's a Hangzhou restaurant nearby that has good food. "
Cheng Jun grunted. When he heard about the delicious food, he still looked indifferent.
Ruan Qiuqiu's attention had been diverted.
They walked through a path in the forest, and at the end of the stone bricks was a temple. The location of the temple was very secluded, and the surroundings were silent. Occasionally, there would be pilgrims walking back and forth. There was only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
The temple was not big, and it seemed to be quite old. The walls were mottled and peeling, and it looked a little shabby. However, the steps in front of the door were clean and spotless.
Ruan Qiuqiu subconsciously lowered her voice. "Let's go inside."
Ruan Qiuqiu took a step forward, but Cheng Jun grabbed her arm.
"Forget it."
“？？？”
Ruan Qiuqiu really did not understand what Cheng Jun was thinking. She said gloomily, "Okay, if you really don't like temples, I'll go in and pray. You just stand here and wait for me. "
"Then I'd better go in."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
Was he playing with her?!
Ruan Qiuqiu could not guess Cheng Jun's thoughts. Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Ruan Qiuqiu did not have the ability to pry open his mouth. She could only take Cheng Jun into the temple. These days, even temples were keeping up with the times. Ruan Qiuqiu was originally a little worried that she would not be able to buy incense because she did not have the change.
The handsome young master quickly took out a QR code for payment and said, "You just need to scan this."
Ruan Qiuqiu did not know whether to laugh or cry as she scanned the QR code to pay.
Cheng Jun grabbed Ruan Qiuqiu's wrist the whole time, as if he was afraid that she would run away. The young master looked at the two of them and smiled slightly, which made Ruan Qiuqiu feel a little embarrassed.
"Let go of your hand. How can you go in like this?"
Cheng Jun hesitated for a moment and let go of her hand. However, when the two of them stepped over the threshold, he grabbed Ruan Qiuqiu's sleeve. Ruan Qiuqiu looked at him in confusion. Cheng Jun's face was expressionless, and his tone was as gentle as usual. "It's okay."
… It did not look like it was okay at all.
It was not convenient to talk at this time, so Ruan Qiuqiu could only suppress the confusion in her heart. She placed the incense in front of the table. She had never been so pious in all her years of life. Ruan Qiuqiu put her hands together, closed her eyes, and murmured.
She thought that Cheng Jun would pray like her. Unexpectedly, Cheng Jun kept staring at her. His nerves were so tense that he almost leaned against Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Qiuqiu admitted that she was very greedy because she made a lot of wishes.
She hoped that Cheng Jun could be safe and sound. She hoped that Tu Nan and his buddies could leave singlehood and enter a happy marriage as soon as possible. She hoped that Lao Meng could live a long life. She hoped that Gu You and his wife in his previous life would be happy … She made a lot of wishes, but she forgot about herself.
When Ruan Qiuqiu slowly opened her eyes, she met a pair of dark eyes. It was Cheng Jun.
Ruan Qiuqiu was startled. "Why are you so close to me?"
"I have a question."
"Go ahead."
Cheng Jun said, "Can the offerings be eaten?"
Ruan Qiuqiu: "?? Of course not! "
She hurriedly dragged Cheng Jun out of the temple. The two of them walked out in a hurry, attracting the attention of the few pilgrims. Ruan Qiuqiu hurriedly asked Cheng Jun to put on his sunglasses. It was better to be careful outside.
"You haven't said anything yet. Why were you acting so strange just now?" Ruan Qiuqiu looked puzzled. "What are you thinking about?"
Before Cheng Jun had time to speak, a figure slowly walked over. He looked old and had a sage-like posture. The old man looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Miss, do you want to have your fortune told today? I think you're a little interesting."
Ruan Qiuqiu waved her hand. "I'm not going to have my fortune told."
If her fortune could really be told, this fortune-teller would have been scared away long ago.
"Miss, there are faint black clouds floating between your eyebrows. Have you been sleeping well recently? It looks like there are some strange things pestering you. You have to ward off evil spirits. I have a talisman here to ward off evil spirits. You … "
The fortune-teller took out the talisman as he spoke. Ruan Qiuqiu was about to refuse, but Cheng Jun was faster than her.
He walked past Ruan Qiuqiu and grabbed the arm of the fortune-teller who was taking out the talisman.
Cheng Jun's back was facing Ruan Qiuqiu, so she couldn't see his expression. He stood straight, took off his sunglasses, and held the fortune-teller's hand motionlessly. Even his tone was slow. "She doesn't want it, so take it back."
Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help but be shocked.
Cheng Jun was angry? Just because a fortune-teller cheated him of his money?
She clearly saw the fortune-teller pull up an ugly smile, revealing a pair of golden teeth. The accumulated wrinkles on his face could almost kill a fly. Facing Cheng Jun, he trembled a little and subconsciously stuffed the talisman back into his pocket.
"Okay, okay, okay … Sorry, sorry for disturbing you!!!"
After apologizing, the fortune-teller fled. He was so agile that he didn't look like a little old man at all.
Ruan Qiuqiu stood behind Cheng Jun with a dumbfounded expression.
"Hey, did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you so unhappy today and so fierce … "
Before she could finish her words, Cheng Jun turned around and hugged Ruan Qiuqiu in his arms. His arms were wrapped around Ruan Qiuqiu's back, so she had no choice but to lean against his chest. Ruan Qiuqiu buried her face in Cheng Jun's clothes. Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks turned bright red.
"What's wrong with you?" She quickly softened her attitude.
Cheng Jun buried his face in her shoulder.
After a long time, he said in a muffled voice, "Don't go."
"I'm definitely not going. When did I say I was going to leave?" Ruan Qiuqiu found it funny.
How did Cheng Jun know that she was going to leave from her behavior today? Was it because she came to worship the gods? Ruan Qiuqiu was confused, but she still patted Cheng Jun's back gently in order to comfort him.
Cheng Jun hugged her for a long time. Ruan Qiuqiu could almost feel the condemning gazes of the uncles and aunties who came to offer incense. Although they weren't in the temple, it didn't seem appropriate to do it in the courtyard. Ruan Qiuqiu awkwardly signaled Cheng Jun to let go of her arms so that they could leave quickly.
Cheng Jun was reluctant, and it took him a while to let go. The two of them looked at each other, and an ambiguous and warm atmosphere brewed.
Then.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw with her own eyes that there was a lipstick mark on Cheng Jun's light gray sweater.
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
